spam
everyone hates spam. i as the webmaster of deltatao software especially hate spam. several years ago a dissatisfied customer, sic some young snert, signed joe's email address up for every imaginable spam list. now he gets 1000+ spams a day. fortunately there are solutions. for $30/year you can get a
pop account at yahoo. they do a wonderful job of deleting the junk. for any business big enough to have its own mail server then i have to plug
barracuda networks started by a a friend of mine. i just got the first beta test box yesterday. it took a few hours to set up and it's noisier than a c130 landing at moffet. but i haven't seen spam since. /action dances around the office.
but seriously, there's really only one way to stop spam. and that is to make it unprofitable. legislation isn't gonna do it. if they go bankrupt sending the junk then they'll stop sending it. so don't buy anything from a spammer. or a telemarketer for that matter.
