SendMail CTO Sounds Off On Spam and FTC

CowboyRobot writes "Eric Allman takes his well-deserved turn in commenting on the state of spam, the dark future, and the need for intervention. He calls spam an "arms race" where "in the long run everyone loses (except the arms dealers)." As you might imagine, he's on our side, and he does a good job of clearly describing the current state of spam, and the possible solutions."

I used to work at Sendmail, Inc.

In their configuration management department - until they laid off 40% of the work force. It was a nice place to work. That was my last permanent position. Nothing but short term contract jobs since then.

Eric, if you're reading this, I could sure use a job.
