Re: Why spam is a problem.

Perry E. Metzger (perry(_at_)piermont(_dot_)com):

If electronic mail is to continue as a viable communications medium,
we have to stop this problem, and soon.

  I see no demand from spammers to standardize on a method of marking
'unsoclicited commercial email' (vs 'requested/business related
commercial email' or 'personal correspondence'?), but maybe such a
header or flag would aid governments to pass laws.  Anything past this I
find difficult to separate the political from the technical.
