SPAMMER Blacklist
The technology exists, and is ALREADY developed. The problem is that it
costs (except for Mozilla). You may well be able to buy the support from your ISP. One vendor to the ISPs is Brightmail (my employer filters mail from the internet with it, and it works pretty well.) I could pay my ISP $10 per month and they would filter it with Brightmail or something similar, but the FREE filter built into Mozilla works REALLY well. -- Chuck Tribolet http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/triblet Silicon Valley: STILL the best day job in the world.

The spamsters have taken to infecting peoples computers with a virus that turns the computer into a very quiet robot for the spamsters. Ok...but trust me, the technology DOES exist that would allow ISPs to figure out to block spam before it gets to their users' mailboxes. It will cost them $$ to develop it, which means it will prob'ly take legislation to make 'em do it. And that's a real shame...'cuz that only means that all the ISPs' talk about blocking spam is nothing more than talk. Yahoo doesn't even block incoming spam from spammers using spoofed Yahoo addresses...but how hard can it be to match return addresses on incoming mail against your own bloomin' account list and block all that doesn't match an existing account??
