Forget the notion that most of us in the security world have never met an mail server that wasn't wide open to be exploited, and forget that spam has to be one of the worst business models ever (a left over from many other bad Internet ideas).
Lets stop all the tirades!! Idiot users that click on and/or don't filter these spam messages are part of the problem (same idiots that perpetuate email viruses) - but the bigger problem is that most software designers don't idiot proof their software
