There's a way to present spam issues and mail filtering operationally.. and I see it all the time at MAAWG meetings, just for example. The issue here is that 90% of the comments on a thread related to this are from people who might be wizards at packet pushing, but cant filter spam. Or on mailserver lists you might find people who can write sendmail.cf from scratch instead of building it from a .mc file and still dont know about the right way to do spam filtering. > When what the larger companies do enables criminal behavior that impacts > the very viability of the smaller companies through de factor DoS attacks, > it's not funny at all.
