Spamhaus Warns of Impending Exponential Increase in Spam Mail

February 7, 2005 – (HOSTSEARCH.COM) – British anti-spam organization Spamhaus recently warned on their website that by mid-2006 spam could reach 95% of all email traffic and we are in the early stages of a ‘melt down’ of email delivery systems caused by overloaded email queues and stressed spam filters.

The anti-spammers blame new worms that attack computers and use them to send out spam or ‘zombies’ as a major cause for increasing spam on the net.

Spamhaus has warned that ISPs need to throttle the amount of email coming from ADSL accounts in order to limit these home-server spam zombies.
