Well as we move towards the end of January has anyone seen a decrease in Spam?
It seems to me that the volume of spam keeps growing and the only people who have taken any notice of the CAN-SPAM Act are legitimate businesses who only account for a tiny fraction of the spam we get every day.
So as usual, legitimate businesses have been trying to understand the Act and its implications. Legitimate businesses have been changing their e-mail practices to adhere to the act and in the meantime the major source of spam, i.e. the people who inform you of new wonder drugs, illegal software and amateur photo opportunities have continued on regardless.
We need more than CAN-SPAM and given the impact of spam on global business I’d expect a more concerted effort to stop those people who are causing such grief on a daily basis. Mr. Gates says the spam problem will be solved in two years… I won’t be placing any bets on that prediction.
