The enforcement activities by ISPs have been the most successful part of combating spam. You have to look long and hard to find one that doesn't take swift action against spam in their network. John Mozena More John Mozena Quotes 0
If there were a good, user-level solution out there, we wouldn't be so worried about passing anti-spam legislation. ISPs can filter and block hosts who send almost nothing but spam, but at the user level there isn't much you can do that also wouldn't affect legitimate e-mail. John Mozena More John Mozena Quotes 0

The inbound virus and spam plight has been largely addressed, yet management of outbound e-mail and IM still lack effective controls. It is too easy to send confidential information to inappropriate or unintended recipients -- and with today's need for IT to demonstrate compliance and risk management, that's simply no longer acceptable.

[Okay, turning your prospects' cell phones into ringing spam machines is probably not your idea of cultivating goodwill. And it's not likely to happen. Unlike e-mail, mobile phones aren't readily accessible to marketers -- mobile phone privacy is zealously guarded by big carriers like Verizon and Nextel, as well as by law. There's an opening, however, and smart advertisers are preparing to drive a truck through it. Provided a consumer clearly opts in -- say, by dialing or text-messaging a certain number -- carriers are slowly becoming more or less amenable to letting marketers return a text message, or even an audio or video file, to that consumer's phone. Mobile phone ads are already big in some parts of Europe and Asia, and it's just starting to take hold here. McDonald's and Dunkin' Donuts are among the companies that have beamed coupons to U.S. cell phones, eliciting coupon-redemption rates as high as 17%.] Mobile-phone marketing today is where Internet advertising was in 1996 -- it's about to take off, ... There are already more mobile phones in use worldwide than televisions and computers put together. Michael Baker More Michael Baker Quotes 0

The flipside is that these numbers do not represent the demand side of spam. As long as people continue to respond to spammers, that gives them a reason to exist and the need for zombie computers will continue. Paul Ducklin More Paul Ducklin Quotes 0
All the spammer needs is one or two hit rates per spam run and he'll be happy. Sadly, there are at least one or two idiots per million people. Ray Everett-Church More Ray Everett-Church Quotes 0
[Executives of public companies don't like to talk about spam, he says, because they don't want the world to know just how much it costs them.] When part of your IT budget depends on whether Billy Bob in accounting signed up for a pyramid scheme, that's not something they like to talk about, ...

Although mobile spam is a relatively small problem compared with spam on fixed networks, unsolicited text or picture messages can exploit and offend mobile users.
