Spam and the Introduction Problem
IBM researcher Nathaniel Borenstein has commented that
everyone agrees that spam is bad, and that's a huge
impediment to doing anything about it. Having decided
that spam is bad, it's tempting to divide the spam
problem into smaller problems and try to solve the
smaller problems, then put the solutions to the
subproblems together and, voila, no more spam. That
would be fine if the combined subproblems were truly
equivalent to the spam problem, but that's rarely the
case.
