The arms race

 

Conclusions I think we can draw from this

  • You can't repudiate mailfrom without starting over.
  • We've underestimated the willingness of spammers to use the credentials of others.
  • Delivery countermeasures have generally made things worse.
  • Content filtering is not dead.

It remains to be seen how far we can escalate things... or does it?
