		<description><![CDATA[In a move that is not unheard of, but completely reprehensible, defeated Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is selling off his campaign’s donor and activist email list as the campaign attempts to crawl out of their $4 million hole of debt. And perhaps "slithering" is a better word as Newt is slapping his donors right in the face by not just selling their email addresses to other political campaigns, but to any unscrupulous company with equally slippery ethics.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Frustrated about the amount of spam you receive in foreign languages?  Be it Russian, Japanese or other Asian language; or Kanji, Hanzi, Hanja, logograms, pictograms,  Cyrillic or other characters, foreign language spam is frustrating.  And it's all the more frustrating because if all foreign language email that you receive is usually spam, as is the case for many people, then your spam filter <i>should</i> have a way to tell it "All email not in English (or whichever your native language is) is spam."  Now, if you use Gmail, there is a way to do it (and even if you don't use Gmail as your primary email program, you can <a href="http://www.theinternetpatrol.com/use-gmail-as-a-spam-filter-for-all-of-your-email/">use Gmail as a spam filter</a>).  Here it is.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Hotmail, the world's largest email provider, is better at blocking spam than Google Gmail and Yahoo Mail, according to a study released by the independent research firm Cascade Insights. The study only tested these companies - the so-called big three email providers - and was sponsored by Microsoft, which funded the research to combat their bad reputation for allowing loads of spam into users' inboxes. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several email providers that normally compete with one another, like Google Gmail and Microsoft Hotmail, have teamed up in an effort to better protect email users from spam and fraudulent messages. The new system is called DMARC, short for Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting &#38; Conformance. With a united front, the war against spam may have a powerful new weapon.]]></description>

'NO' to unsubscribe"  This message is dastardly for several reasons - read on for the full information, and <i>don't</i> text them "no" (or anything else) to 'unsubscribe'!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You may not have heard of the Internet Water Army before, but you've probably seen their handiwork.  The Internet Water Army is the monicker given to a group of underground people in China who are paid to post comments on blogs and other Internet forums, often either recommending - or dissing - a product or service, or posting links.  Because they are an 'army' of people who are paid to 'flood' the Internet with their spam comments, they have earned the name The Internet Water Army.]]></description>

Coming from the spoofed email address "AOLCenter@message.aol.com", the email tells you that "you have 1 notification", and includes a link to click to see the "notification".  In fact, this is a classic example of Canadian pharmacy spam.]]></description>

And, clearly, your associated <i>email address</i>!  Or, another way to look at it is that Barnes and Noble purchased your customer data from Borders.  And promptly added you to a mailing list <i>without your consent</i> to <b>use your personal data from Borders</b>, which they *also* obtained <i>without your consent</i>.  Either way you look at it, <i>neither</i> of them come up smelling like roses.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you get spam from Jerry Miller of First Working Capital Group?  The spam may have come from "JM.FWC@ymail.com" or "JMillerFWC@email.com", or maybe even another email address, and with a subject of "Please Review" or "Proposal Attached", but the rest of the content is the same.  It starts out "If your company finds itself short of cash and unable to secure working capital from traditional lenders, we can help," and goes on from there.  Interestingly, Mr. Miller (if he indeed exists) is not the only one responsible for this spam - under CAN-SPAM, First Working Capital Group is as responsible for spam sent out on their behalf.  So register your displeasure by contacting them at their whois contact address (it's only fair, after all), at jeff@internetsalesresults.com.]]></description>
