Is CAN-SPAM Working? - Inconclusive
The SpamButcher Spam Index is an effort measure the effectiveness of the CAN-SPAM Act which went into effect January 1st.
After an initial drop in spam levels, it appears the amount of spam sent is again on the rise. It would appear that the CAN-SPAM act has failed.
How effective the CAN-SPAM Act is can be determined by watching the Spam Index throughout the month of January.
The Spam Index is updated frequently -
Data was collected for December, 2003. The average spam level for the entire month was assigned a value of
10,000 points. An index level of 5,000 would indicate roughly half as much spam is being sent, while a level of 20,000 would suggest twice as much junk e-mail.
The SpamButcher Spam Index is generated with data from a public source, in no way related to the operation of the SpamButcher anti-spam software.
