Junked email ham 'worse than spam'Some anti-spam filters are a case of the 'cure' being worse than the disease, according to web-hosting firm Strato. People spend more time checking out their junk-mail folder for legitimate email, which the German company calls 'ham', than they do skimming through spam headers. Strato communications manager Carsten Zorger said: "People have to trust a filter or it is not worth using." Strato naturally claims its email filter spots very nearly 100 per cent of spam with not a single false positive thanks to a partnership with Berlin's Humboldt University. The technology also works with phishing email, which is considered to be a special case of spam, though there are specific techniques to tackle the problem.
