As systems administrators, we abhor spam. It bogs down servers, floods our personal mailboxes, and wastes our user's time. As web content providers, we also are extremely annoyed that email contact information is blatently reaped and abused. The Internet can be so much more than a cesspool of spam. On the other hand, the Internet does not need government control over content. Services like Cloudmark walk through the horns and give us tools to defeat spam, yet avoid government regulation. If you don't have easy access to server-side controls, Cloudmark is invaluable. If you do, Cloudmark may still add value.
Do check out Cloudmark. From their website:
