“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.”
Anne Mitchell
“Clearly the spam problem is not going away and users are being bombarded with inane and possibly offensive messages that they do not want to receive, especially in a corporate environment. In light of today's legal and regulatory requirements, enterprises should be aware of this data and take steps to ensure that their networks are protecting employees from the onslaught of spam directed at corporate inboxes.”

“If you are a consumer that's taking advantage of the technologies that exist ... then the spam problem for you is solved. Bill didn't say that there would be no spam. But he said the problem would be solved, and I think that is what we actually have accomplished.”
Ryan Hamlin
“It is in the interests of Yahoo and AOL that their users receive and read the premium spam, as this justifies their charge to the spammers. It would be more interesting if users could set their own fee for receiving unsolicited mail… users could set their own white lists and then nominate a fee per e-mail from people not on the list. The senders would then have the option of sending to people who set a fee.”
James Turner
“Although mobile spam is a relatively small problem compared with spam on fixed networks, unsolicited text or picture messages can exploit and offend mobile users. The widespread adoption of this code of practice will minimize these messages and reinforce the mobile industry's reputation for providing secure and trusted services.”
Rob Conway
“Mirapoint's multi-layered approach to spam, including its unique MailHurdle technology, was the ideal solution for Jayman's spam problem. By blocking spam at the edge of the network, then filtering for content, Mirapoint demonstrated high accuracy rates -- ensuring executives aren't spending hours each day searching for 'lost' email. The simplicity of an appliance with robust user controls and high accuracy rates made the switch to Mirapoint nearly invisible to end-users. All they noticed was better email.”
Craig Richardson
“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.”
