Solutions to the Internet Spam Problem
What are spam and UCE (Unsolicited Commercial
E-Mail)?
"Spam [UCE] is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in
an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to
receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products,
get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very
little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the
carriers rather than by the sender."
