I block about 98% of the spam to my users. Many SA users at other companies simply mark it and deliver. Lets say for sake of argument that we can sustain a successful rate of tagging or blocking 90% of spam.
What is the next step? We have all posted stats that prove that over 50% of email is spam. Now that we can tag or block (to user), it doesn't stop the traffic. I still have 50% traffic on the server as useless. What do we do? I'm serious about this. I've had a new found passion against spammers this weekend, and I wish to go further. (They lambasted my grandfather over the week on his dialup. Vengeance will be mine!) I know the state of Missouri has sued 2 spammers. Does anyone live there that has info on this? Will state law and federal law work against each other? Lets say I can track the spammer to the source. What avenue do we have to stop them? Should I work with local legislation next? Don't flame me on this question, but should ISPs be held more accountable? Like Comcast? (Should be called spamcast!)
