Abstract
The adoption of a wide range of regulatory and technical measures against spam has not constrained its growth and sophistication. This paper provides a novel explanation for this puzzle by emphasizing the technological trade-offs between the accuracy and speed of filters facing network providers in the early to mid-2000s. Furthermore, the paper documents how antispam software developers have responded to the technological gap.
