The FTC found that spammers continue to ‘scrape’ e-mail addresses from the Web using automated programs that look for the telltale "@" sign. But up to 96 per cent of those messages were blocked by the two Web-based e-mail providers used by the FTC in its test. The FTC did not say which providers it used in its study. "This encouraging result suggests that anti-spam technologies may be dramatically reducing the burden of spam on consumers," the report said.
