Cloudmark Spam Filtering Goes Mobile
As the threat of mobile spam increases, it looks like some anti-spam firms are readying their technology for expansion. Cloudmark made some news today by doing a deal to bundle their software with Openwave's email platform. Of course, the article seems to confuse the blocking of email spam to mobile phones with blocking text messaging spam. In this case, the offering is designed to block email spam, and not text messaging spam - which is the real worry.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
