Preventing outbound spam on a large system is a far greater challenge than stopping inbound spam. The technical challenges are similar, but the logistical challenges of preventing outbound spam without pissing off customers is *far* greater than the challenge of preventing inbound spam without pissing off customers.
If you are sufficiently big, a significant percentage of spam *from* your users is spam *to* your users. Or do large operators have functionally different filters when sending to internal and external recipients ? I see a tragedy of the commons here. If every operator filtered when sending there would be little need to filter on receipt and stopping one flow at source means many flows don't need stopping at the destination. -- Andrew C.
