No, it is not.
The problem with spam is neither necessarily solely legal nor necessarily solely technological.
The problem is that it is far too cheap to send mail. If even one in 100,000 recipients takes the bait, the spammer is probably making a positive bottom line. So long as that doesn't change, spamming will continue to be a problem.]
Well said. The problem is actually related human nature. As long as there is a profit to be made and it's easy, like clicking a button and having your spam software do the work, then people will do it. The most effective way to fix it is therefore to prevent it from being profitable. In this respect law would probably be more effective than technology. g -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz
