text: will spammers win over the spamfighters one day? it seems that for every anti-spam measure there is a new spam method popping up. will i live to see the day spam is gone - from mail as well as the eb? spam email will disappear when it is no longer economically feasible for the spammers. as long they can send out a few million spam emails and make a couple of million dollars on that they will continue to do it.  so the answer lies with people who receive the spam email never responding to or buying anything from a spam email they have received. it's not the spammers' fault that these spam emails keep coming; it's the fault of the people who receive them and respond with wads of cash.  this is the same reason why prostitution is still going strong after thousands of years: there is a market for it that is positively insatiable.
