Also, the tinfoil hat crowd claims that the big ISPs make good money on spam so it's not in their best interest to stop it.

spam filtering by ISPs Posted May 15, 2004 17:19 UTC (Sat) by giraffedata (subscriber, #1954) [Link] We may be using different definitions of ISPs; I believe this thread is about providers of email mailboxes. AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Earthlink, ... I know these guys filter spam based on content. I see it in my own Yahoo mail account, and Earthlink advertises it. So why is spam still effective? Are they not filtering enough? Are users opting out?
