BT is implementing a fully automated "spambuster" system
to track and tackle professional spammers and botnet-infected users
on the BT broadband network.
BT estimates that about 80% of e-mails - 6.5 billion a day - are
spam. These are not only generated by professional spammers, but
also by botnets - where the PCs of unsuspecting users are secretly
infected with rogue software.
The spam detection system - Content Forensics from StreamShield
Networks - scans millions of e-mails a day, enabling BT to identify
professional spam operators and terminate rogue accounts.
