“It won't reduce spam directly. AOL is already good at managing spam issues, and Yahoo is getting better. It may make it easier to filter mail, and may provide more resources for spam prevention, but it could also mean that people lose emails, and so change provider.”
Richard Cox
“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
“Spam filters have gotten so good, a properly managed filter can turn the sting of spam into a minor inconvenience.”
Richi Jennings
“Well, there's egg and bacon; egg sausage and bacon; egg and spam; egg bacon and spam; egg bacon sausage and spam; spam bacon sausage and spam; spam egg spam spam bacon and spam; spam sausage spam spam bacon spam tomato and spam.”
Terry Jones
“Some feel the perception of spam as an annoyance has decreased because of filters and because people are getting used to it. But the bad news is that spam is changing from an annoyance into something actually very dangerous.”
Claudia Sarrocco
“This falsification prevents the receiver from knowing who sent this spam or from contacting them through the 'from' address of the e-mail. By falsifying this routing information, it makes this e-mail a crime in Virginia, and the volume that was sent during this period elevates this charge to a felony charge.”
