The birthday of spam

May 2nd, 2008 ·

Sadly, today is the 30th birthday of spam. I seem to remember that you should never trust anyone over 30.

Email providers are largely distinguished today by their ability to accurately filter out spam. There is a huge of amount of absolute crap that is sent, but most of this is easy to handle. The problem is around the fringes, with organizations that cleverly piggyback their spam on top of other things and squeeze their way into your attention.
