> And why is Gmail so much better on the spam scenario?
On a related note, here's a paper titled "Sender Reputation in a Large
Webmail Service" by someone at Google. http://www.ceas.cc/2006/19.pdf
Yup. That's a great paper to read, and pretty close to what actually is the
case - Brad's the right guy to comment there.
My opinion is that Yahoo engineers have the spam problem solved to the
extend Google has, but the higher ups are reluctant to deploy these
solutions.
Because they're not sure if spam is a real problem?
Given what I know of the people running yahoo email - they do have a very
high awareness of it. Large ISP / email provider filtering doesnt work the
same way as at "small linux box run by a geek" type domains.
