No one needs to be told that email spam is a serious problem, but
some people don't truly understand how serious it is. The speaker
now gets about 900 spams every day, a great many of them in character
sets he can't even render, and is seeing a doubling rate of about
four months. Many solutions have been proposed, falling primarily
into two areas, legislative and technological.
The current state of spam will be reviewed, including some thoughts about the
current legislative climate (and whether legislation has any chance
of doing any good) and quite a bit about the various technologies
that are being discussed and deployed. Although opinions will be
offered, no conclusions will (or can) be drawn in an environment
changing as quickly as we are seeing with email today.
Eric Allman is the original author of Sendmail, co-founder and CTO of
Sendmail, Inc., and co-author of Sendmail, published by O'Reilly. At
UC Berkeley, he was the chief programmer on the INGRES database
management project, leader of the Mammoth project, and an early
contributer to BSD, authoring syslog, tset, the -me troff macros, and
trek. Eric designed database user and application interfaces at
Britton Lee (later Sharebase) and contributed to the Ring Array
Processor project for neural-network-based speech recognition at the
International Computer Science Institute. Eric is on the Editorial
Review Board of ACM Queue magazine and a former member of the Board
of Directors of the USENIX Association.
