you could bet that by closing off this avenue, SPF will force spammers to use other methods that are more easily detected/filtered, and that if you play this cat&mouse game long enough, it will drive the cost of spam so high (or drive the volume benefit so low) that it'll just die out.
Good summary. This is the right strategy.
but to me, SPF is just a way to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.
I can swim but I believe that the water under the Titanic was quite too cold to stay. Any advice to the people on the NANOG mailing list before the boat goes down?
