“Tougher sentences being dished out are clearly making spammers feel the heat. However, spam is clearly not a thing of the past. E-mail users worldwide are still being bombarded by unsolicited messages, and, two years on, Gates' famous prediction now looks extraordinarily optimistic.”
Brett Myroff
“However, for ISPs especially, the spam problem is not fully solved by any means. They still spend a lot of money on R&D in a cat-and-mouse game with spammers, as well as the infrastructure investment to deal with the inbound volume that gets rejected at or near the gateway.”
Jonathan Penn

Bruce Schneider
“no SPAM, maybe bologna but not SPAM.”
Ronald Hubbard
“ISPs are wise to improve spam filtering, and ensure that permission emails are not erroneously marked as spam. Consumers have a plethora of providers to choose from and will stray from those who do not effectively filter messages.”
David Daniels
“I would go so far as to say that, not only is Microsoft wrong about the reduction of spam, but they are actually part of the problem. Microsoft could, for example, more aggressively attack spammers operating off Microsoft-owned Hotmail accounts.”
Richard Cox
“The average inbox doesn't have that much spam anymore. The end user would probably say the spam problem is not so bad. They only get a few a day.”
