[AOL and other ISPs] will naturally tend to go towards what brings them revenue. They can spend money to keep their regular spam filters up to date but they can make money by neglecting spam filters and pushing more senders to pay for guaranteed delivery.

If you click on unsubscribe, you have identified to the person who sent you that spam that you are a real person. The price of your e-mail address just went up exponentially.
Ron O'brien
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
There's no real industry focus around solving this problem -- all the emphasis seems to be on solving spam.
Patrick Peterson
E-mail marketing will continue to be effective as long as the legitimate publishers are very vigilant in complying with CAN-SPAM regulations and police it carefully.
Thomas Flynn
However, for ISPs especially, the spam problem is not fully solved by any means. They still spend a lot of money on R&D in a cat-and-mouse game with spammers, as well as the infrastructure investment to deal with the inbound volume that gets rejected at or near the gateway.
Jonathan Penn
This is proof of their knowledge that they need to offer more integrated applications, as anti-virus, anti-spam and the firewall need to work closely together.
Peter Firstbrook
Premium spam is still spam.
James Turner
They serve it everywhere here. We all love it. They have it at McDonald's and sell it at 7-Elevens and the ABC stores. We grew up with Spam.
Caleb Spencer
Legislation will not displace the need for anti-spam software, ... There is a strong need for it and that need will be around for several years.
Paul Ritter
I wanted to create something that the streets identifies with without making it like packaged cheap Spam. So I created the music, and it's basically a story and an epic like R Kelly's RB Opera. This is only the beginning.
Daz Dillinger
The road map from the technology side in fighting the spam problem will continue to evolve. However, the road map of the spammers will continue to evolve as well.
Scott Chasin
As long as there is e-mail, there will be spam.
Jordan Ritter
Testing on the spam filter last week went very well.
Betsy Draper
If you don't get Spam, you feel left out.
Alan Pelzer
The spammers are relying anyway on extremely low returns on every spam that they send - literally on one in a million.
Steve Linford
We would not make the statement today that spam has completely declined. What we can say, and what we believe, is that spam has declined as far as reaching the consumer's in-box. I think it's a big difference from saying overall spam volumes are down.
Scott Chasin
When you have an email server like Microsoft Exchange, which is the most common for small businesses, you end up buying more hardware than you need in order to process the spam you've let in.
Andrew Lochart
Not surprisingly, 85 per cent said spam and virus protection had been their number one concern in 2005.
Andrew Lochart
Spam filters have gotten so good, a properly managed filter can turn the sting of spam into a minor inconvenience.
Richi Jennings
The issues surrounding spam are very different in the corporate environment than they are for ISPs. ISPs are worried about the resource drain in having to send and store spam, and they're worried about the churn in subscribers caused by spam. With corporations, the problems are liability and productivity.
Sunil Paul
Google and a lot of free services have millions of spam blogs out there that are increasingly choking up bandwidth but also making it hard to find content [users] want.
Mike Graves
If variety if the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam.
Johnny Carson
Sometimes there is stuff you want to hear about. I wish I could filter out the other stuff, but I'd still prefer [no spam] to getting it all.
Steve Whitney
In the last year, we're seeing increasing URL- and spam-filtering investments. Many of the largest firms also supplement these solutions with intrusion detection/prevention appliances, host-based behavior monitoring products, and so forth.
Bob Hansmann
What works in spam is similar to what works in advertising. Things like weight loss, work at home, get rich, those are beginning to find an audience.
Joel Smith
If you are in publishing, you get more spam sent to you than anybody else.
Andrew Lochart
We've had no problems so far. We've also since discovered another bonus with using Linux; we receive far less spam and have less problems with computer viruses.
Greg Tourell
I believe we will have legislation around e-mail spam and direct mareting that stipulates how invasive companies can be.
Patricia Seybold
The Help Desk does receive complaints regarding spam e-mail. Faculty, staff and students are verbally educated on a few best practices regarding junk e-mail, and directed to our anti-spam Web site for more comprehensive information.
Kathy Lang
The program acts as a middleman, giving retailers the information they need without names, addresses or other personal information. We hate spam as much as anyone.
Gregory Prescott
There's absolutely going to be a bunch of euphoria, people trying to benefit from the tailwind of spam.
Scott Petry
NewsGator has a big footprint in aggregating for the enterprise. [At this point], it's like selling e-mail without spam filtering. Enterprise is holding it at arm's length and will continue to do so until there's some improvement in quality.
Mike Graves
Three or four years ago, [e-mail marketing] was quick, easy and cheap. Now, it requires a lot more sophistication, knowledge, and dedication ... CAN-SPAM took a lot of practitioners by surprise ... some large companies actually put their e-mail projects on hold.
Loren Mcdonald
All the spammer needs is one or two hit rates per spam run and he'll be happy. Sadly, there are at least one or two idiots per million people.
Ray Everett church
There's no spam filter in the world that is going to block this, which is why it is particularly insidious.
Neil Macdonald
ISPs are wise to improve spam filtering, and ensure that permission emails are not erroneously marked as spam. Consumers have a plethora of providers to choose from and will stray from those who do not effectively filter messages.
David Daniels
[Executives of public companies don't like to talk about spam, he says, because they don't want the world to know just how much it costs them.] When part of your IT budget depends on whether Billy Bob in accounting signed up for a pyramid scheme, that's not something they like to talk about, ... With spam, it's an ongoing guerrilla war.
Ray Everett church
'Spam' is the number-one issue for ISP's. It's killing them, ... This is definitely going to change the Internet.
Greg Olson
Once we can get on top of the spam, we can address some of our internal e-mail issues.
Betsy Draper
The flipside is that these numbers do not represent the demand side of spam. As long as people continue to respond to spammers, that gives them a reason to exist and the need for zombie computers will continue.
Paul Ducklin
Consumers use the 'S' word very easily. Their definition of spam is completely different from a marketer's definition of spam.
Stephanie Miller
One small company we spoke to ended up getting their legitimate mail blocked by anti-spam software, because they had been used as a spam relay, and that was very, very painful.
Chris Potter
The largest issue with spam is that it increases the amount of space taken up in your mailbox and counts against your quota.
Kathy Lang
The average inbox doesn't have that much spam anymore. The end user would probably say the spam problem is not so bad. They only get a few a day.
Anne Mitchell
Some of the areas that we see as really hot are internal and external IT network security. Companies want to get their arms around issues like spam and the latest virus definitions. They are also looking for highly specialized security skills at the network infrastructure level.
Jeff Markham
The challenge was to collect the most amount of canned tuna in oil, Spam, peanut butter, and stew. These items are high in protein and fat, components that are missing from the Haitian diet.
Samantha Lee
I've been complaining about how worthless the results from Technorati are for the past six months (at least)…Amazing how quickly the mighty have fallen. At a conference last year half the screen in the audience seemed to be on Technorati. Now, I do my canned technorati searches and I see nothing but items from a year ago and spam. Ugh.
Jason Calacanis
No SPAM, maybe bologna but not SPAM.
Ronald Hubbard
The amount of spam coming from some individuals, or a spam ring, can be staggering. If these people in particular are sued, and their operations shut down, the effect would be considerable.
Aaron Kornblum
At the end of the day, the IT administrator does not care if it is spam or a virus. All they care is there is bad stuff coming off the Internet... and they want one vendor to protect them.
Steve Munford
We as a company believe that by a couple of years from now spam will be down to a very manageable trickle ... it will be almost an afterthought.
Sean Sundwall
There is always a need for more money so we can help people. The money raised goes into a general fund. We also receive money from the VFW, the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans, all the auxiliaries in the Austin area, the Red Cross, SPAM Post and the Salvation Army.
Arnie Earl
Worms and viruses are increasingly being written to steal confidential data from innocent people's computers, to hijack resources, or launch spam or denial-of-service attacks.
Graham Cluley
I'm very sure that as more countries get on the Net they will generate more spam.
Sunil Paul
Some ISPs are very proactive, and are spending huge amounts of money combating spam. The problem is not all ISPs are doing this. A smaller group of ISPs profit from carrying spam or take no action, and those bad apples touch the rest of the ISP community.
Susan Schorr
These defendants intentionally used personal messages as a cover-up for commercial messages. Deceptive subject lines and headers not only violate the CAN-SPAM Act, but also consumer trust.
Lydia Parnes
Spam has shifted from basement amateurs to hard core criminal enterprises. True criminals have started getting into the spam game.
Claudia Sarrocco
While you might not expect it, predicting whether a movie is good or bad is a lot like determining whether an email message is spam or not.
Matthew Prince
This was a pretty astonishing number for us. We knew that it would be a high volume, but this was an even greater volume of spam than we had anticipated passing through one computer.
Tim Cranton
Basically we have seen, with a few exceptions, a handful of rulings about spam in this country and it is not yet dissuading spammers to shut down.
Neil Schwartzman
We're generally supportive of efforts to make life easier on legitimate marketers. But I don't know if it's a good precedent to set for Internet service providers to charge per message for guaranteed delivery. That doesn't seem like the best way to handle spam.
John Mozena
Today's announcement should send the message loud and clear that the department is committed to using the CAN-SPAM Act and the federal laws to stop those who invade the homes of American families with unwanted, obscene spam.
John Richter
It's a lot more cost effective to outsource e-mail than it is to maintain a Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange system - particularly for small and midsize businesses. One of the things that we bring to the fore is that we help stop spam so that employees won't waste any time looking at it.
Shawn O'connor
The drop in spam volume could indicate that improved E-mail defense technology and high-profile prosecution of spammers might be having some effect.
Scott Chasin
I think largely the most compliance has come from the legitimate e-mail marketers that are desperately trying to find their own identity for their content because they, too, are suffering from deliverability issues due to spam-filtering at the end point.
Scott Chasin
Overall, the majority of [e-mail] traffic on the Internet is still spam-related content.
Scott Chasin
It seems in China that the level of education and awareness about spam isn't there yet.
Nick Nicholas
Sadly, this law will likely have the same effect as Can-Spam Act had -- that is, very little.
Jonathan Penn
Spam is looking much more like viruses.
Pat Peterson
Another reason is that many users will have restrictions on their mailbox sizes for the foreseeable future, ... A flood of spam can cause the message store space to run out, in which case new bona fide incoming e-mail will be refused.
David Ferris
By creating a multi-layered defense that proactively repels spam and viruses at their source, organizations can now get ahead of troublemakers who are always looking for new ways of penetrating IT systems through e-mail.
Tom Mcdonald
I won't say spam is dead, but we can say spam is contained. If you use the latest anti-spam technologies and educate yourself on how to use them, you should not have a problem.
Ryan Hamlin
People seem to sometimes buy on the basis of spam e-mails in a situation where I'm not sure they would if it weren't coming over the Internet. If somebody found an anonymous tip in the mail, you'd throw it out, or it's junk mail. Culturally we know that.
Susan Wyderko
There are very few barriers to entry. Anyone with a good idea and knowledge of programming could write a decent spam filter.
Michael Osterman
For us, we have not seen one single instance where spam has actually gone down.
Jordan Ritter
Probably 80 to 90 percent of our traffic is spam. It's really like a tax on the company because if a lot of it gets through, it affects employee productivity. And then there are harassment issues [from pornographic spam] and so forth.
Stan Schneider
There are consultants who advise businesses on how to maneuver through spam filters and best deliver e-mail.
Bill Mccloskey
Even when spam doesn't get to your inbox, it uses up bandwidth. The necessary increased filtering also risks blocking genuine e-mails.
Richard Cox
Whether an individual receives this much spam, or more or less spam, is highly variable. What an individual may consider spam, another person may consider legitimate, requested e-mail.
Derrick Jackson
This case does provide a guideline when it comes to successfully claiming damages from spammers. It also shows that wherever they are they can be held responsible for sending spam to anyone living in a British Isles jurisdiction.
Nigel Roberts
Pc-cillin protects against viruses as well as protects against spyware and adware. It also has spam filtering and gives you a firewall to protect you from people trying to get into your computer. Norton 2005 does the same thing.
Gordon Mills
If there were a good, user-level solution out there, we wouldn't be so worried about passing anti-spam legislation. ISPs can filter and block hosts who send almost nothing but spam, but at the user level there isn't much you can do that also wouldn't affect legitimate e-mail.
John Mozena
It's hard to say at the moment, since this is just the beginning. But if SANS' report is accurate, I think we'll see additional targeted attacks where spam is sent to users at a specific organization in the hope that someone clicks on the link and downloads the malicious code so the attacker can infiltrate the network.
Alain Sergile
I would go so far as to say that, not only is Microsoft wrong about the reduction of spam, but they are actually part of the problem. Microsoft could, for example, more aggressively attack spammers operating off Microsoft-owned Hotmail accounts.
Richard Cox
I think in general things are getting worse, not better. There are lots of little victories. Spam is one of our industries shining victories. But there are lots of areas where we aren't doing very well.
Bruce Schneider
On the back side, we see pings from Blogger.com, and an enormous number are splogger pings. Google obviously has a filtering mechanism in its own perimeter. They use search and textual analysis tools, quickly and fairly accurately, I'd say. You'd likely find two or three out of 50 that are spam blogs.
Mike Graves
Spam is a bigger growth driver than many investors realize. It is getting to a point where corporations are willing to pay up to do something about it.
Donovan Gow
We wouldn't be surprised that some ISPs would be reluctant to accept this--part of the reason many have been proactive in blocking spam has been to avoid legislation, and they have made heroic efforts. The problem is, as long as there's not a level playing field, we will have ISPs that court spammers, and we all suffer.
Susan Schorr
It's difficult to parse out the effect of the law versus technology's impact on the amount of spam.
Lydia Panes
The purpose of the Mobile Marketing Association is to safeguard this new form of spam that is literally in your face.
Gary Ruskin
If the Council wins on data retention and the Parliament wins by allowing spam, then the only loser will be the customer -- twice over.
Joe Mcnamee
What we've done is focus on one particular, main service, which was spam and virus filtering. It's going well, but we see huge opportunities to add on to that.
Eric Rachal
Who has time to manually spam web sites? That can't be very cost effective.
