What is significant about the date 1978?
![Page 3: Tired of Spam? The solution is MailWasher](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be8f43/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The arrival of spam!
• May 1st, 1978 the first spam was sent by a DEC marketing rep to advertise their new computer.
• The recipients, like today, were not happy!
![Page 4: Tired of Spam? The solution is MailWasher](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be8f43/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Spam is easy to block
• It’s the mid 1990’s and there’s a bit of spam around. It’s easy to block
• Block the sender.
If the From field contains "[email protected]" then mark the message as mail to be deleted.

Damn, email can be spoofed
• They’re changing the email address the spam comes from.
• Ok, lets set up a filter and block the words they’re using
"Casino Spam","Casino Spam",16711680,OR,Delete,Subject,contains,"YOU play we
PAY",Subject,contains,Casino,Body,containsRE,"<a\ href=(3d)?""http://.*casino.+"">.*Casino",Body,containsRE,"Big\ Dollars?\
Casino",Body,contains,jackpot,Subject,contains,"Sign up & collect $500!",Body,contains,"Sign up & collect
$500!",Body,contains,poker,Body,containsRE,"casino\ (games|members)",Body,contains,"gambling from home"

Hmm, filters don’t always work
• And I’m fed up with them blocking my good email.
• Lets block the source of the spam. Their IP address!
216.218.193.162/32 is listed on the Spamhaus Block List (SBL)

That didn’t work for long
• Now they’re sending spam through millions of people’s compromised computers. I can’t block everyone’s computers!
• Lets try some fancy mathematical statistics to teach my computer the difference between spam and legitimate email.

That was ok for a while
• But they’re still sneaking through and trying to look like my legitimate email.
• Hmm, this is really tricky to block now
![Page 9: Tired of Spam? The solution is MailWasher](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be8f43/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Now my spam looks unreadable
• There’s so much gibberish in each spam email. How do people read this?
• And, they’re still coming through
![Page 10: Tired of Spam? The solution is MailWasher](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649eda5503460f94be8f43/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
This looks ok, its from my bank
• Yep, positive this looks ok. The site even looks genuine

Images!?
• Now my filters and every other blocking thing doesn’t work because my spam comes through as images now.

Now it’s just a link in the email
• Ohh, it’s a google link. Must be ok!
• Hmm, its sends me straight to the spammy website
• Blended spam on the rise
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=[some query unique to the site]&btnI=I=Im+Feeling+Lucky

A very brief history of Mailwasher
Nick Bolton from New Zealand designed Mailwasher after being sick of spam.
He found a couple of programs which didn’t really work well alone, but together they would be great.
One was an email checker which showed your email on the server, the other had some filters.

A very brief history of Mailwasher
• MailWasher version 1.0 was released August 18th 2001 after 6 months of development. It had lots of bugs :( it was free though and soon got mentioned on a couple of popular email lists with over 200,000 subscribers each.
• Then things got busy!
