SendMail CTO Sounds Off On Spam and FTC

Posted by Hemos on from the yeah-some-experience dept.

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."

    Sendmail, promiscuous relay for all, Sendmail, providing remote root access since Day 1 on the Internet, Sendmail, of the indecipherable rules file , is on "our side" ? Are they even relevant except for inertia?

    Lets talk to DJB, to Wietse Venema, to the MS Exchange developers first, before giving soapbox time to some suit.
