Simson Garfinkel on the False Hope for Stopping Spam:
The spam wars are taking a turn—and right now, the good guys are losing. New legislation, new technology, and draconian anti-spam policies on the part of some Internet service providers are doing nothing to stem the tide of unsolicited e-mail. The stakes are far bigger than you probably imagine: Spammers hold the power to turn the tools of our technological society against us, for their gain and pleasure. And so far, we have been unable to devise technical means to prevent these tools from being misused.
