We’ve covered SPAM here, a few posts back. Now we’re going to talk about the (anti) spam cocktail! It’s actually the use of many varying programs and technologies. By combining these components, it is then easier to identify and eliminate spam as an individual anti-spam program may be able to skip a certain spam. But with combine effort, it becomes more effective. It’s also the e-mail administrator who determine and create rules on how messages are to be handled.

Discussion boards, which can be called by many other names (good for it) such as discussion discussion forums, discussion groups, online forums, and message boards (whew), refers to online bulletin boards. It’s like a virtual cork board that millions of users (often sharing the same interests) can post announcements and opinions and get replies both negative and positive. One doesn’t have to post and just “lurk” or read the posts (unless stated otherwise in the forum rules) Or you can just read the board. Anyone can make a discussion board by availing of online forum services. There are various forum software available depending on the programming language used.

Technology does play a lot in making life more convenient. I’m sure many globe trotters out there are familiar with the e-ticket, which is an electronic document used for ticketing passengers most prominently in commercial airlines. For those who are not so familiar with this electronic service, I’ll give you a short run-down of what it’s all about.
What basically happens is that a customer books a flight through an airline’s Web site or through phone. The following details are then assigned to the customer: confirmation number, flight number, date, departure location, and destination location. Although a hard copy can be requested to be sent by postal mail, one only needs to bring identification to be presented upon boarding.
This way, printing and mailing costs of airline companies are significantly reduced. This also reduces incidences of lost or forgotten documents.

The Can Spam Act (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) of 2003 allows courts to sue spammers for up to $2 million in damages if they violate certain rules. This Act requires that businesses clearly label commercial e-mail as advertising, use a non-misleading subject line, provide a legitimate e-mail address and physical address, and process opt-out options within ten days. There are those who believe that high penalties will discourage spammers. However there are many weaknesses to this act, including the fact that spamming is a world wide problem and it is very difficult to enforce the act upon the internet.

Ahh! bounce e-mails. Still confused about that one? No problem, it’s really something that doesn’t hold interest until you get a message in your inbox saying a certain e-mail is “undeliverable” and has therefore “bounced.”
Simply put, bounce e-mail is electronic mail that gets returned to the sender because it cannot be delivered for one reason or another. It’s like a check that can’t be cashed in.
Hard bounce e-mail is an e-mail that is cannot be delivered permanently. This can be because the address is invalid. Soft bounce on the other hand happens when the recipient’s inbox is full and has no capacity to include yours. Or to be less harsh, if the server is temporarily unavailable.
