The Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) published a new report, Why Am I Getting All This Spam? (16 pages in PDF), which documents the volume of spam received over the course of six months by hundreds of accounts created specifically to research this issue. Although the report offers no absolute methods for beating spam, it does provide useful insights into how users are targeted and by whom, and offers the warning that “e-mail addresses posted on Web sites or in newsgroups attract the most spam.”
