Speaking of Spam

There is very little option these days. Either you go down the route of spam arrest / blocker tools, or you suffer through tons and tons of unwanted and often virus / malware / spyware laden spam.

What email needs to work again is a proper protocol that really does secure the identity of the sender. Spam only works when the spammer can hide behind proxies and fake mail addresses, and by routing the traffic through jumps, misdirections, and landing pages on hacker servers. Without these tools, they are pretty much screwed. Spam works only in the shadows. In the bright light, these roaches would scurry away as fast as can be.
