"Can Spam" Updadte: Microsoft turns up the heat
Following the trail of rumors and allegations about Bush's new
"Can Spam" laws, AACUG anti-spam advocates dig to the core of
new developments including a visit to Virginia's Attorney
General's office, and Microsoft's drag-net to bring
the third largest spam ring in the world to justice.

Tip: Avoiding Spam Traps
Dispite recent legal actions against criminal "UBE" email, spammers
have no end to creative methods of sucking your email users into
their lists. Some new tactics being tested by spammers exploit
human nature and the fast pace of the net to elude the new
laws and evade commercial filtering.
