other: This is Gabriel Weinberg, a graduate student in the Technology and
Policy Program (TPP) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
I recently completed my masters thesis, which is entitled "A Systems Analysis
of the Spam Problem." I thought it might be useful to you and the other members
of the ASTA.
It can be found at:

Please let me know if you have any questions. I can be reached at
yegg(_at_)alum(_dot_)mit(_dot_)edu or at (617) 974-2456.
The central argument in the thesis supports SPF and other solutions within the
Identifiability solution category (my term). The central contribution is a
model of the spam system that is intended to be used to evaluate spam solution
strategies.
Take Care,
Gabriel Weinberg
