Sydney, Australia. 16 January, 2003
Internationally respected anti spam organization BestPrac.Org tackles Spam Bots with the launch of a new three part information series to aid webmasters, site administrators, and everyday internet users in the war to stop spam.
In response to feedback from supporters of its internationally recognized “Principles of Best Practice in Email Spam Prevention and Eradication”, BestPrac.Org has commenced the information series in “layman’s language” to provide easy to understand, practical education and advice and other tools and resources free of charge to the internet community.
The first series, entitled “Spam bots – and how to avoid them” is available free of charge from the ARTICLES section of the BestPrac.Org website, at http://www.bestprac.org
Practical advice on how to prevent spam bots crawling your web site, how to stop them harvesting email addresses, where the high risk places are online that spam bots trawl to harvest email addresses, how to encrypt email addresses so that they cannot be interpreted by spam bots, free cgi scripts & htaccess server templates, how to choose email account names, the practicalities of using multiple email accounts and disposable email services, links to further information, and more are all provided in this ground-breaking educational and practical guide.
“This is information and advice the entire internet world needs. Ideas that worked even just a couple of years ago often do not work against the modern technology of the newest spam bots. This series is the most up-to-date resource of its type available online”, said BestPrac.Org Chairman, Trevor Johnson.
A further information series, covering every aspect of spam filters, is currently also being developed.
BestPrac.Org offers all of its services and resources to
the internet community without charge. To guarantee its independence,
BestPrac.Org does not accept advertising,
does not receive commissions on any third-party products or services
mentioned on its website, and does not sell product endorsements. BestPrac.Org
