You want to B2B this.
Developing an anti-spam system isn't something you can just hack up though, being any better than the rest requires post-doc grade research backing your algorithms and bayesian filters.
Unless you're some kind of latent super genius you're going to want to do a lot of reading of white papers on bayesian filters and how modern systems currently work before I think you really want to start hacking up code.
I don't mean to discourage you, and it's good that you're doing some preliminary market validation, but the market is B2B, and the task is far more difficult than most.
- chmike 16y agoThe system doesn't use SMTP and is not another spam filter. The major difficulty is the network effect. It would help a lot if spam was perceived as a real problem. To my surprise it is apparently not. My analysis is that if there is no perceived cost to spam there won't be any obvious incentive to adopt a new system.
