Spammers Choose GMail

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-inbox-it-hurts dept.

EdwardLAN writes "A study by Roaring Penguin has discovered that during the past three weeks, the amount of spam originating from Gmail has risen sharply." My spam has been pretty ridiculously high for the last few weeks, although I have no idea if this is part of it. It really does seem like gmail's spam filters are declining these days.

    I did not say Gmail was OSS. I said "Two years of beta in the OSS community isn't unheard of." I'd edit to change the wording, but I can't.

    I think you're right, sometime in the future GMail may end up open-source like all major google products such as search and AdSense. If not in the future then maybe in an alternate universe, where evil doesn't exist.

    Obviously your thoughts only travel forward in time.
