As long as spamming is legal, people will do it, period. You cannot solve administrative problems with technical solutions. The key is for ISPs to form a political lobby (with the same power as the DMA) and push for reasonable laws to protect consumers. Until then, we're all pissing in the wind.
When something is illegal in the US, it does not necessarily be illegal in Europe or Asia. Or do you really expect Pakistani police to track down and convict a spammer who has offered you A Larger Penis[tm]? What I'm trying to say is that 'the solution' will probably have to be a combination of legislation and technical measures. -- Sabri Berisha www.cluecentral.net "I route, therefore you are"
