Alan Ralsky Indicted on Spam Charges

I certainly applaud the fact that he is starting to move through the judicial system and my hope is that he and his gang are put away for a very long time. From an industry perspective though my position is and always has been that arresting individual spammers doesn't make any tangible difference, however. Our mail servers won't be processing any less spam because Ralsky, Soloway, or any other "Spam King" is off the streets. There are always more spammers-to-be waiting in the wings behind them.

So as unfortunate as it is, don't expect to see any difference in the amount of spam ending up in your spam folders.
