Scott Chasin Quotations

I think the only way to characterize that prediction, as we stand today, is inaccurate. Spam is still congesting the Internet, and it's obviously a very visible problem in most consumer mailboxes.

Kudos should go the advances in anti-spam technology, not to legislation.

I think Gates had a very optimistic view of the world.

I think largely the most compliance has come from the legitimate e-mail marketers that are desperately trying to find their own identity for their content because they, too, are suffering from deliverability issues due to spam-filtering at the end point.

We would not make the statement today that spam has completely declined. What we can say, and what we believe, is that spam has declined as far as reaching the consumer's in-box. I think it's a big difference from saying overall spam volumes are down.

I spend a lot of my time thinking about what the bad guys are going to do next.

The road map from the technology side in fighting the spam problem will continue to evolve. However, the road map of the spammers will continue to evolve as well.

The drop in spam volume could indicate that improved E-mail defense technology and high-profile prosecution of spammers might be having some effect.
