After large-scale commercial spam made its public debut on Usenet in the infamous Canter and Siegel “green card lawyers” incident of 1994 [1], the proliferation of unsolicited commercial email began to pick up speed. By the spring of 1996 spam made up a significant portion of the email received by customers of the major Internet service providers, and some providers began to take action. In June 1997, the US Federal Trade Commission held hearings on spam that resulted in the launching of a “Scamspam” effort to go after the senders of fraudulent spam and in the creation of an ad-hoc working group to address the issue [4].According to Jill Lesser, a lawyer for America On-Line, at times as much of 50% of the email coming into the AOL system was spam before technical countermeasures were actively pursued. At the FTC spam hearings Lesser reported that during the spring and early summer of 1997, spam rates on most days hovered near 30%.
