Just as I predicted over a year ago, Can-Spam has done absolutely nothing to curtail spam. Today, spam is worse than ever. What's needed is either a technical solution (the Puzzle Solution) or widespread certification of email practices. That's why I created Relemail, an email sender certification service that eliminates the possibility of spam before the emails are ever sent. It also keeps mailers honest through independent auditing of their behaviors, not just their privacy policies.

Relemail can play an important role in restoring credibility to the medium of email. Can-Spam, in contrast, has really only legalized spamming. You see, Can-Spam doesn't outlaw spam at all: it technically makes it 100% legal! As I've said all along, this isn't a problem that can be solved by legislation alone. It's going to take technical solutions combined with certification processes like Relemail to really make a lasting difference.
