24 years and counting: Where does the time go?

Spam Resource turns 24 this year.  I started writing about email in 2001, mostly because I was spending my days fighting spam, running and/or wrestling with blocklists, and then, later, trying to figure out why some mail got delivered and some didn't. Two decades (and then …
