*sigh* I think users need _better_ education then that! "Some critics of the law point to technology as the solution, though techniques developed so far have failed." This REALLY pisses me off!!!! Spamassassin + DNSRBLs + some custom rules = just about ZERO spam for my users!!! When the hell will the media start saying that!!!!?!?!?!?!?!?! *deep breath* "We don't have the solution yet. We have the big Band-Aids," said Spira. We have a LOT of better ideas that more ISPs need to implement. Stopping open by default email ports from home users would be a pretty big step! "Researchers at Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and elsewhere are studying whether to require small payments to send e-mail, costs that would be prohibitive for spammers who send millions of messages." *cleans mess from head exploding* I don't think MSFT has our best interest in mind there. Do you? Spam is dynamic. So should be antispam. Opensource reacts faster. One mans spam is another mans ham. But sometimes a Spam is a Spam for all. SA does a DAMN fine job of it, and I think we are winning the fight. Despite the media not wanting to inform people of that. Its been a long morning allready. /rant --Chris ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
