How would you prefer to tackle the problem that Blue Frog took on?  What
strategy would you suggest?  SpamCop uses reporting for the benefit of
blocklist users, so that's a client-side answer.  The previous thread
discussed the unwillingness of major ISP's to tackle the problem by
black-holing other major ISP's and NIC's whose executives have chosen to
take the spammers' money and forget about the Net.  We haven't even
gotten into the implications of U-CAN-SPAM and its (Stateside)
redefinition of spam by the Direct Marketing Association, with the
rentable help of a sleazy Louisiana congressman.  Your turn.

Just curious,
Michael
