Yahoo launches first antispam day

I’d actually be more
impressed if I wasn’t quite so convinced that Yahoo and the likes are the
cause of half the spam going around.    Within two days
of signing up a previously-unused email address to a Yahoo group the spam was
coming through…

Is it a safe bet that if people simply didn’t reply to so much junk mail
the net would be a better place?

Here’s an excellent href="http://www.templetons.com/brad/spam/spam25.html">piece on not
beating up on ISPs to block spam. In short, don’t do it.

Web surfers are urged to dump junk mail as Yahoo kicks off the
first global antispam day, its effort to raise the profile of the worldwide
spam problem.
