How to avoid spam that uses images to bypass spam filters

Posted by | December 13, 2006 | Spam

I get a lot of spam every day and in some accounts I even have so much I redirect them to my Gmail account to take a look at them later because 99 % of them are spam.
When you put in a email in your domain name register you think it should be safe but they actually sell address and they are the most spammed so I make a special email just for them.

I also use the spam assassin spam filter in my Cpanel and last I have my Eudora junk mail filter but despite all this preventions I still get spam inform of images.

I just found out that a company called Borderware have created an anti image spam“>anti image spam that will stop all this spam with images I get.

I actually did not know that these spam bandits have program that creates different sizes and fonts in there images so they can bypass the filters. Another interesting fact is that 30 % is image spam and until now there has been no way to stop them.
