According to online security company Symantec, 65.9% of all email is spam. And while a majority of these malware messages get caught in filters, this wastes a lot of time, network bandwidth and computer power, argues Jeremy LaTrasse, CEO/co-founder of Message Bus and a co-founder of Twitter. To fight the spam problem, LaTrasse urges mass senders to follow ISP rules and policies, keep up to date on sending laws, use SPF and DKIM tools, as well as to scan the web for "cousin" domains, fake sites that exist with names similar to their brand.
