US aims to plug global spam holes By electricnews.net Posted: 03/02/2004 at 11:13 GMT Stay up to date wherever you are, with The Register Mobile The US Federal Trade Commission has announced an international initiative to fight spam, which will focus on closing off the unsecured servers used by spammers. The FTC is to work with 36 different agencies in 26 countries on its new programme, entitled Operation Secure Your Server. The initiative is designed to coordinate an international effort to reduce the flow of unsolicited commercial email by urging organisations to close open relays and open proxies, which are often used by spammers to send unsolicited email. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/35297.html The FTC site is here: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/spam/secureyourserver/index.htm What do others think about this? -Joe K.
