digg_bodytext = 'Spam, also known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), has been a growing problem since the Internet was opened to the public in the mid 1990s.  Today, it makes up around 80-85% all of e-mail.  The origins of spam messages have been studied more closely over the past decade.     ';

			&lt;script src='http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js' type='text/javascript'&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Spam, also known as unsolicited bulk Email (UBE), junk mail, or unsolicited commercial email (UCE), has been a growing problem since the Internet was opened to the public in the mid 1990s.  Today, it makes up around 80-85% all of e-mail.  The origins of spam messages have been studied more closely over the past decade.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Traditionally, spam was sent generated and distributed via so-called &amp;#8220;marketing&amp;#8221; companies.  They owned or leased their own equipment and operated on their own.  As anti-spam software and services became more advanced that method quickly became an in-effective means of delivering spam to mailboxes.  As anti-spam methods became smarter so did the spammers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today most spam originates from infected computers all around the world.  Computers infected with viruses are able to &amp;#8220;phone home&amp;#8221; to a central server or computer that can relay spam messages through infected computers.  These systems are known as &amp;#8220;bot-nets.&amp;#8221;  This makes spam detection much harder as the messages do not originate from the same source.  Spam filtering software or services must then look at messages and sources to effectively mark messages as spam.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;pre&gt;
&lt;/pre&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Spam also originates for servers or services running outside the United States.  China, Korea, and other Asian countries are all popular sources for spam.  Orlando Tech Works provides extremely accurate spam filtering on all shared hosting packages.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<p>Traditionally, spam was sent generated and distributed via so-called &#8220;marketing&#8221; companies.  They owned or leased their own equipment and operated on their own.  As anti-spam software and services became more advanced that method quickly became an in-effective means of delivering spam to mailboxes.  As anti-spam methods became smarter so did the spammers.</p>
<pre>
</pre>
<p>Today most spam originates from infected computers all around the world.  Computers infected with viruses are able to &#8220;phone home&#8221; to a central server or computer that can relay spam messages through infected computers.  These systems are known as &#8220;bot-nets.&#8221;  This makes spam detection much harder as the messages do not originate from the same source.  Spam filtering software or services must then look at messages and sources to effectively mark messages as spam.</p>
<pre>
</pre>
<p>Spam also originates for servers or services running outside the United States.  China, Korea, and other Asian countries are all popular sources for spam.  Orlando Tech Works provides extremely accurate spam filtering on all shared hosting packages.</p>]]></content:encoded>

&lt;p&gt;Attention!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;  On October 16, 2009 server upgrade will take place. Due to this the system may be offline for approximately half an hour.&lt;br /&gt;
The changes will concern security, reliability and performance of mail service and the system as a whole. &lt;br /&gt;
For compatibility of your browsers and mail clients with upgraded server software you should run SSl certificates update procedure.&lt;br /&gt;
 This procedure is quite simple. All you have to do is just to click the link provided, to save the patch file and then to run it from your computer location. That&amp;#8217;s all.&lt;/p&gt;
