AOL Joins Microsoft In a Reply to Spam | |
|

| Time: 06:54 EST/11:54 GMT | News Source: TechNews.com | Posted By: Bill Roach | ||

Are you angry about spam? So are America Online Inc. and Microsoft Corp. These arch rivals, which compete ferociously for Internet subscribers, say illicit commercial e-mail has so overwhelmed their efforts to stop it that they are joining forces to press for tough federal legislation to stymie the spammers. Spam is up fivefold over the past 18 months, leaving the electronic mailboxes of Internet users jammed with billions of unwanted commercial e-mails. AOL blocks 780 million pieces of junk e-mail daily, or 100 million more e-mails than it delivers. | ||

| 780 Million? Wow, and I thought my 500+/wk was a lot. I don't feel so bad now. |

| Has anyone else noticed that a great deal of spam comes *FROM* @aol.com, @msn.com, or @hotmail.com? I think they need to look internally for alot of the sources. IMHO. |

| It is so easy to spoof an email header, that there is really no way to know where email comes from (if someone is trying to hide it, that is). |

Does this mean AOL will stop spamming me, sending me junk CDs in the mail?
And does it mean that MSN will stop throwing CDs at me when I walk into Best Buy? |
