This means that [antispam vendors are] essentially in a symbiotic relationship with spammers, whether or not either acknowledges it.One hardly ever sees this analysis.
I'm not entirely convinced it's as true as it sounds. Not all companies exist to survive and profit; a few, especially privately-held ones, express the desires of their owner(s) instead, and it would surprise me if there weren't a few who would be delighted to be put out of business by no longer having anything to combat - Spamhaus is the first one who comes to mind as a plausible example. Probably only a comparative few, though. :( /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents-montreal org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
