Some people are of the opinion that right technology is the only way to kill spam. According to this view, spam will eventually become a minor technical irritation like viruses. I don't agree. There's been quite a few companies trying to kill the spam dragon (ex. Spamcop, Spam Assassin, Brightmail, etc etc). Each employ differing methodologies. Unfortunately, with the virus like ability of spammers to identify and exploit online communication channels, no technology can truly create a spam free environment.
