If spam is so bad, why does google allow it?

To answer the original question.... Spam IS bad, and google doesn't "allow" it.

It gets through the registration process of gmail the same way it gets on any other site - automated bots that can bypass human verification such as captcha. XRumer comes to mind.

If there is a better one than is being touted as the best, please share your information.

I guess I just find it ironic that a lot of spam email addresses are from Gmail

If so there shouldn't be any successful autospam registrations.... Unless of course you lowered the time setting? I keep mine at 25 seconds.
