"How can you, as a reseller, make money from spam? It really is very simple. I'm not suggesting that you create your own spamming mass-mail operation from a shed in the back streets of eastern Europe to create funds, because that probably doesn't fit in with your business plans. Besides, there are more profitable ways to benefit from spam."
"Reading the bill can make your head hurt. Not because it is necessarily wrong or misguided, but in general, it really doesn't have a chance to make a difference. Spammers are sly monsters who can turn on a technology dime."
"Under Yahoo's new architecture, a system sending an e-mail message would embed a secure, private key in a message header. The receiving system would check the Internet's Domain Name System for the public key registered to the sending domain."
"On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me... Six emails for penis enlargement... five for cheap credit... four for Viagra... three for a dodgy online pharmacy... two for a get-rich-quick scam in Nigeria... and an electronic greetings card with a hidden virus that turned my computer into a spamming machine."
"IronPort this week released a proposal for SMTPi, which stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol with identity features added. Initially, SMTPi would use IP address-based whitelisting combined with extra identification codes in the header to declare the e-mail's campaign, sender, and e-mail service provider. Senders would have to record those extra identification elements in a central registry and include them in the headers of e-mail messages they send. Receiving systems would look at the IP address of the last server sending the message—the only part of an e-mail header that can't be forged—and check to see if it's present in the registry. If it is on the IP whitelist, the receiver will know to trust the campaign, sender, and e-mail service provider codes."
"Five hundred miles and worlds apart, these two forces of cybernature work at cross-purposes -- Flo Fox churning out spam as fast as she can, Ardie Brackett deleting it as quickly as her slim index finger and mouse will move."
"Using the "Report Spam" button, AOL members provided thousands of complaints that were used by Virginia authorities to help investigate and indict Jaynes."
