Where's The Backup Plan For Stopping
Spam?
01/17/2004 10:47 PM

Normally, if you're trying to solve a difficult problem, you have a few different plans. If something doesn't work, you need to be ready to move onto plan B. I've been asking since the CAN SPAM bill was passed, how is the government planning to measure how successful (or not) it's been - and what's plan B? Now that it's becoming increasingly clear that CAN SPAM hasn't been even remotely successful - and has basically done nothing to slow down the rise of spam, I want to know again, what is the government's plan B? They were so proud of themselves for passing CAN SPAM, yet they included no money for enforcement, no way to measure how successful it was, and no plan B. In other words, yet another law that makes for a good press release, and a good sound bite at election time, but does nothing to solve a problem.

I doubt this is all that surprising, but a new report suggests that anti-spam companies will bring in noticeably more revenue than the spammers themselves. Of course, creating anti-spam products actually takes some work, whereas spam is the job of lazy people who have no longterm vision, but just want money as quickly and as easily as possible. Still, when you look at the amount of money spent on both sides, it's fairly stunning just how much money moves due to spam.

Stopping Spam Patented (Again)


Stopping Spam Patented (Again) 06/02/2004 10:10 AM
Earlier this year, we noted that Postini had receive d a patent for the incredibly obvious concept of anti-spam filtering. Well, it looks like they may be in for some competition, because Network Associates/McAfee has now been awarded a patent for an idea that (sarcasm alert) no one could have possibly come up with prior to December 2002 when they applied for it: us ing a combination of methods such as "filters, paragraph hashing, and Bayes rules" to stop spam. What this really means is that there are now going to be anti-spam patent battles which will slow down the process of stopping spam, and do no one any good, other than a few lawyers who will get rich. Why can't these companies just compete in the marketplace? Still, it would be great if, at some point, AT&T finally made it clear why they patented spamming itself last year.

Is Verizon's Anti-Spam Plan To Block All
Foreign Email?


Is Verizon's Anti-Spam Plan To Block All
Foreign Email?
12/29/2004 10:35 PM
Apparently Verizon is fed up with spam hitting their network, and someone has tuned their spam filters to what might be called an "aggressive" level. The problem, for many people, is that there's no option for the end user, who either has to take it, or find a new service provider. The biggest complaint, so far, seems to be that many foreign emails are automatically blocked -- meaning that friends and relatives cannot contact each other, and even some companies have found that co-workers can't email each other. While it's nice to see Verizon trying to do something, this seems like overkill. Any spam system should at least allow users the option of reviewing the blocked mail and designating which ones are legitimate.
