  AOL Reports Drop in Spam Messages
Time: 08:57 EST/13:57 GMT | News Source: Newsday | Posted By: Brian Kvalheim

The world's largest Internet service provider believes spammers are starting to give up -- at least when it comes to sending junk to its subscribers. The total number of e-mail messages destined for America Online Inc. members averaged 1.6 billion in November a day, down from 2.1 billion daily a year earlier, the company said Monday. The drop was almost entirely in spam, AOL said. AOL spokesman Nicholas Graham attributed the drop largely to spammers moving on after realizing that many of their messages won't get through AOL's anti-spam filters or that they might get sued for trying.
