John Graham-Cumming reviews: Ending spam by Jonathan A Zdziarski

John Graham-Cumming - The POPFile Project


Feature

Trust and accountability

The email ecosystem - which includes not only email vendors, but also any company that utilizes email to conduct its business - is under attack from spammers, phishers, hackers, spoofers and other criminals. The response thus far from the email industry has been to concentrate on blocking the bad stuff. A reasonable approach initially, but one that has caused big problems. Des Cahill looks at the alternatives.
