Most public attention has been focused on how spam affects individual email users; less on its impact on ISPs and other administrators of large networks. But the consumer-focused approach is unlikely to solve the most serious aspects of the problem. The consumer is the end of spam’s journey; its origins lie in the policies and technologies of networks. Solving most of the problems for ISPs would probably also solve most of the problems for consumers, but the converse is not true. Therefore, this paper assesses spam and its legal and technical solutions with an emphasis on the perspective of ISPs.

Technical Considerations for Spam Control Mechanisms [http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-crocker-spam-techconsider-01.txt]
Internet mail has operated as an open and unfettered channel between originator and recipient. This invites some abuses, called spam, such as burdening recipients with unwanted commercial email. Spam has become an extremely serious problem, is getting much worse and is proving difficult (or impossible) to eliminate. The most practical goal is to bring spam under control; it will require an on-going, adaptive effort, with stochastic rather than complete results. This note discusses available points of control in the Internet mail architecture, considerations in using any of those points, and opportunities for creating Internet standards to aid in spam control efforts. It offers guidance about likely trade-offs, benefits and limitations.

A spam filter needs to achieve one thing: detect and delete (or possibly move to a temporary storage area) all unwanted incoming email. Any spam that gets through the filter is called a false negative. Any legitimate message wrongly classified as spam is called a false positive. False negatives are annoying, but false positives can be expensive: do you really want to miss out on an offer of work because the offer looked a little too much like spam? This article by The Electric Editors discusses the various filtering techniques.
