(2003-08-28) Paul Graham Spam Hits

Paul Graham adds a weapon to the SpamWars - filters to auto-follow links within spam, to generate huge amounts of load on spammer's servers. He separately reviews the success of Bayesian Filter-s, and compares a variety of (tech and non-tech) SpamWars approaches.

I think it's interesting how the recent So Big virus seems to have triggered more aggressive interest in the spam problem.
