The Dangerous Economics of Spam Control

Overview The adoption of a wide range of regulatory and technical measures against spam has not constrained its growth and sophistication. This paper provides a novel explanation for this puzzle by emphasizing the technological tradeoffs between the accuracy and speed of filters facing network providers in the early to mid- 2000s. Furthermore, the paper documents how antispam software developers have responded to the technological gap.
