Re: Spam = Jail Time!

Filtering 99% of Spam, no. Filtering (and blocking) 99% of stopping your mail, that is more realistic. I will agree that filtering your mail is something that everyone should learn and take advantage of. However, there are those out there that just can't grasp the concept of setting up a filter to block one message with out it affecting another. The more filters you have in place, the more complex the filtering scheme becomes.

I personally will always use filters. ISPs, the government, and filtering services (Brightmail and other) can't stop it all. However, (as much as I hate to admit it) right now this looks like a positive step.

I dislike spam advertizing as much as anyone. Yet, any good free email client/program is easily configurable to stop 99% of spam (eg. incredimail.com and some isps). [text was edited by author 2002-02-15 06:07:24]

When is the FTC to concentrate on "deceptive telco practices" (called "slamming" at FTC.gov)? (that defraud Americans out of millions more than email advertizers!)
