The New York Times yesterday had an 1,100-word article by Doreen Carvajal on The Spamhaus Project, and other anti-spam organizations that some marketers accuse of vigilante justice.

The story affirms that spam (from the consumer's point of view) and e-mail deliverability (from the marketer's) remain major headaches (even though we forecasta decline in the volume of spam messages per user over the next 5 years

A recent report by Jupiter analyst David Daniels found that a majority of e-mail marketers either don't know what their delivery rate is or have poor delivery rates of 80% or below.

Look for a major report from David soon.
