Yebbut... do they have a strategy that's likely to sort things out? I'm not convinced. The hardware's struggling to cope with current traffic volumes... well, those are only going to go up over the next few months, so what happens then? And what exactly is this tool that allows people to manage spam before it gets into their mailbox? On the face of it, that doesn't sound like it's likely to make much impact on overall traffic volume, so what's their strategy to avoid another hike in spam bringing about another collapse of the email service?
imho, their strategy ought to be universal server-side filtering, coupled with their legal bods coming down like a ton of sh*t on the wanadoo dialer spammers, who are a large part of the problem. At the very least this would deter anybody thinking of trying the same trick.
