What does term "proxy site" mean?
I have seen some topics using this term. I don't know what does it mean. Can anybody explain?

The term proxy site is generally used to describe sites that allow you to surf anonymously.
Several examples:
www.stupidcensorship.com
www.hidemyass.com

It is in general just another way to conenct to the internet. You pass through a proxy first which can either allow you to bypass filtering, be a content filter itself, or hide your IP (more or less). Check out Mod Proxy

Thanks for the info. I've always regarded Proxy as a 'spamming tool' not knowing exactly what it was. Now I know! and great idea about using it to browse 'some sites' at work

Why are/were proxy tools considered spamming tools?

Spamers shield their identity or source. They usually do this by taking over servers, computers, hijacking mail servers, or exploiting an e-mail account but often a proxy can be used to shield the spammers IP. It's typical for basic hacking programs to allow for proxy use as well. Proxies can be good (filters), bad (bypass filters) or ugly(malicious use).

is it??
as i know those anonymous online software, that hide your identity, usually connect to proxy site, then only connect to any website you visiting. thus you are behind the proxy.
i not sure proxy is used in email forwarding/spamming. as the port is not the same. there is no mail proxy as i know.

There are mail proxies but like I said before....it's an uncommon way to spam since it is still tracable.

i don't think that proxy sites are spamming tools. just know, that hosters don't like such sites, - > IMHO- they use a lot of cpu/memory

In fact, real IP may be traced even when visiting web sites via proxy server.
