Well, there's one characterization from measurements mentioned which
spammers can't adapt to and that's their location (in)stability in IP
space.
This relates to the idea that the only reason spammers can operate
effectively is because they exploit thousands of hijacked computers
which gives them location mobility (not geographic but in ip space.)
If this can be shown to be true via measurement it leads to the
conclusion that perhaps the problem with spam is not what leads to
this idea of a "consent" framework as originally proposed in this
charter, but, instead, shows spam is almost entirely a security
problem.
Spammers can't adapt their way out of this observation because that
would mean they'd have to become location immobile which means we
could just block them and that'd be the end of spam.
Paul,
Perhaps we can start seeing some of the data based on these characteristics?
