Spam, spam, spam, spam...good spam, wonderful spam....V

One of the ways that spammers work around blocks and other defense systems are "zombies."  Zombies are a relay network used by spammers which use relay systems to move from one computer (or network) or another to fool or deceive computer systems.  By running from one network to another, the zombies can fool a network into letting emails (spam emails) into a system and into your computer.

     Other types of zombie systems will "trick" a network into letting its emails run through its systems.  The system network does not recognize the spam for what it is and lets it bypass its safety systems.  This way, the network itself does not know what it is doing.

     The key to all of this, therefore, is to always be careful when looking at unknown email.  There is no foolproof system that will prevent unwanted emails and no network safety system can replace caution and common sense.
