Get Information First Before Sending Them to the Affiliate

Honestly, I’m not a big affiliate fan because in the past I haven’t gotten 90% of the money promised either because they disappear before they pay out or they have so many exceptions — paying out once a quarter, has to be over X dollars first, etc. Another negative side is that some of them think that 10% commission or some low amount is worth the 20 hours it takes for us to sell it. Usually the 10% equal $10 and $10 isn’t worth my reputation even $1000 actually.

Self Sending Spam

When a spammer sends a message, he has several goals. First, the message must make it through one or more spam filters. These filters may scan the message for “spammy keywords” at an ISP, a web host and at the user’s own system (and potentially other places as well).

An especially annoying type of spam is called a “self sending spam”. This is a spam message which you receive and the “From:” address is your own email address, or some variation of it. For example, davesmith@example.com might receive an email with a from of “davesmith@anotherexample.com. Sometimes the email has your exact same email address in the “From:” field, making it appear you’ve sent the message to yourself.

Why do the spammers bother to do this?
