I have to disagree - I get less spam now than I've ever received since 96 or so, thanks to SpamAssassin (about the only thing SA needs is an automatic update system). There has also been some progress on the ISP front: most of the messages in my spamtrap came from Chinese and Korean servers - a few years ago it was predominantly US/European. I think the current approach of going after the providers will work, albeit with a non-trivial amount of effort. The missing link as far as I can tell is simply mail client support. We really need trivial mechanisms for reporting spam and managing one's antispam system(s). I can think of a couple examples that look very promising: - Deersoft integrates SpamAssassin into Outlook - Apple's Mail filter also appears to be surprisingly effective, with the caveat that my copy doesn't get much use thanks to SpamAssassin. Cloudmark's system looks very interesting but I haven't tested it personally.
