There are many things concerning the internet that are decidedly not amusing. The internet can be a source of viruses and other forms of malware, which affect computers worldwide. It can provide refuge for the sick and perverted, who use the depths and anonymity of the internet to distribute material that goes beyond any imagination. It can also be a hotbed for other dangerous activities like crime and terrorism. However, I think I speak for many when I say that spam is the one thing that bothers us all on a continuous basis.

it would be quite easy when you can change the email protocol. For example instant messaging is mostly spam free. When it was required to authenticate people before they are allowed to send you email, this could easily eliminate spam.
