My first spam column, defining the problem.

Last week's column offering a flawed solution to stop spamming.

Cruelmail, a system very similar to the one I proposed last week. The fact that I hadn't heard of it before probably indicates the weakness of the idea.

The MIT Technology Review. The proposed Microsoft solution is mentioned in the April issue on page 28. You can't get there from here, but it is the best I can do.

A good place to start if you want to write a script so your e-mail client will work as I suggest in the column.
