spam - No, Not The Luncheon Meat

What it is, what it ain't and other spammy sundries...

Professionally I've been involved with email on the Internet for over seven years. I've worked in permission marketing online and other industries building and supporting email systems. I've been Director of Permission and Compliance for a large email service bureau, as well as Director of Client Engineering and Creative Services. Through it all, I've learned many things... but spam has always been a frequent and always interesting focus.

Here I will take the opportunity to frame my views on the spam problem, make recommendations on products and services for fighting and dealing with spam, and provide relevant news and current events on the issue.
