The War on Spam
July 24th, 2005
The flow of spam (“Unsolicited Commercial Email” or “UCE”) into Internet citizen’s email accounts is seemingly endless and boundless. Email users and corporations are forced to use server-side and client-side filters, challenge systems, and other means to protect their server assets from the deluge. There have been various attempts at legislation as well, which want to attack the problem from different angles.
But this is a war. And one of the most effective ways to win a war is through logistics. Cut off the enemy’s ability to wage war. In the case of spammers (and phishers, for that matter) the means to this end are actually available.
