Spam fight continues

Its never nice to receive spam, whatever regulation is put in place. Okay, there is spam, which is not called spam, may be because it is legitamate - like from companies, who send material to you, that you didn't ask for, and just because they got your e-mail address or your business card. When we talk spam, we mean those milions of mails send to "innocent" owners of e-mail addresses, advertising viagra, printer ink, or those who ask to get support to get these huge amount of money out from Nigeria, which recently changed to China.

Countries start to "fight" back - we talked about China in this context, a longer time back, yesterday, we indicated that Singapore imposes penalties on spammers. In the US, a spammer was sentenced to 7 years of jail for sending 850 million of junk mails through accounts he just opened with stolen identities (http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,9682088%255E15306,00.html). The spammer thinks the sentence is too harsh.

I hope the whole effort works - but then, how come, I get more and more spam, still? Well, let's hope the best and let's assume we still need to trave a long way right?
