Largest Lawsuit Against Spammers Ever

Seems like we are finally getting somewhere with our fight against spam. Project Honeypot — to which I am a proud contributor — finally has collected enough data about spammers to file a huge lawsuit against those lowlifes that make your inbox choke every day. I know they certainly do it with my inbox. I receive about 200-500 spam mails per day. Luckily my spam-filter is top notch, so it requires only about 30 seconds a day where I think about spam.

You can help Project Honeypot too if you have a website or blog or — even better — own a webserver or hosted account that allows you to donate a MX entry. It doesn’t cost anything is virtually maintenance free and doesn’t strain your bandwidth. But it helps the fight against spammers. So it is a no-brainer, right?

Just hop over and sign up for your account, so you can help fighting spam, too.
