EarthLink Inc. has filed a new lawsuit in federal court in Atlanta as part of its continuing fight against spam.

Atlanta-based EarthLink's (Nasdaq: ELNK) anti-spam partners AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo! also filed lawsuits today against spammers in courts in Virginia, Washington State and California.

In a lawsuit filed Oct. 27 in U.S. District Court in Atlanta, EarthLink charges John Does 1 - 25 ("the Mortgage Lead Spammers") and John Does 26 - 50 ("the Drug Spammers") with violating the federal CAN-SPAM Act and various other state and federal statutes, including the federal Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the Georgia Computer Systems Protection Act and state and federal racketeering laws. According to EarthLink's complaint, the defendants have used deceptive and illegal methods to send millions of spam e-mails advertising prescription drugs and low mortgage or loan rates.
