Extractions: Spam Buster Rated by ZDNet! Windows 95/98/NT utility designed to help you get rid of that annoying, unsolicited junk e-mail that can clutter up your mailbox. Due to the popularity of the internet and the low cost of sending out advertisements, we are now awash in a flood of junk e-mail. Rather than ban the transmission of such e-mail (which can get into rather thorny first amendment issues) at the source, it is our feeling that we can use technology to help eliminate junk e-mail at the target (that is, your machine). Spam Buster is not an e-mail program, however, it works great in conjunction with the major e-mail programs. Run Spam Buster before your e-mail program as the first line of defense against the junk. Then from Spam Buster you can launch into your e-mail program to retrieve and read the e-mail that you wish to read after cleaning up the junk mail. Since Spam Buster does NOT download the entire message it is much quicker than using your normal e-mail program which will actually have to retrieve the entire message including any attachments. It will delete that junk from your POP account before it gets to your mail program. Then in your mail program you will have a clean set of messages waiting for you after running Spam Buster. Not only will it flag junk e-mail, it will allow you to delete any message you wish simply by marking it.

Wired News: Net Advocates Take The Pulse Of Spam
Three groups want to help the FTC make sensible Internet rules with a survey about one of the most annoying features of digital life junk email. Wired News
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,3328,00.html

Extractions: 06:03 PM Apr. 22, 1997 PT How much time people spend sifting through junk email and how much patience they have for this new bargain-basement marketing technique is being gauged by three Net advocacy groups that will present their findings to the Federal Trade Commission in June. "We are putting the information together in a way that we hope will help the FTC make an informed decision on how to deal with spamming," said Scott Brower, executive director of Electronic Frontiers Florida . The group is conducting the spamming survey online with the Voters Telecommunication Watch and Electronic Frontier Foundation in Austin, Texas. Between 50 to 100 individuals and Internet service providers have responded to the informal survey since it was posted on the VTW site last Tuesday. Comments on the results will be filed with the FTC in May and discussed at agency hearings in June. The survey asks how much spamming costs users and ISPs in time and money, how annoying they find it, and what steps they take, if any, to eliminate it from in boxes. "Resolving the spam issue is a very delicate balance of different factors, including how people are using email and the protection of free commercial speech - not to mention the free flow of information on the Net," said Shabbir Safdar, co-founder of the

Wired News: Senate Embraces Spam Bill
Much to the dismay of antispam crusaders, the Senate hearing on a controversial measure to control bulk email turns into a love-fest. By Deborah Scoblionkov. Wired News
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,13080,00.html

Extractions: 05:03 AM Jun. 18, 1998 PT The Senate passed an anti-slamming bill last month that included an amendment, sponsored by Senators Frank Murkowski and Robert Torricelli, to regulate spam by requiring bulk email senders to correctly identify themselves and honor requests to be removed from their mailing lists. On Wednesday, the Senate Subcommittee on Communications held a post facto hearing on the issue. The hearing was described by the seven-member panel's lone dissenter, Ray Everett-Church of the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-mail, or CAUCE , as "a Murkowski/Torricelli love fest." Most of the hearing's participants slammed spam scams and hailed the amendment as a "first step" to eliminate electronic fraud. Many critics, however, regard Senate Bill 1618 as a step backward. In contrast to the anti-slam bill, which protects consumers by outlawing the practice of switching long-distance providers, the Murkowski/Torricelli amendment is largely viewed as anti-consumer and pro-spam by the Internet community. The problem, say critics, is that the rider would legitimize bulk email and encourage businesses to test it, as long as they meet the criteria of a valid return address and a remove list. Every one of the nations' 20 million businesses would have "one shot" at every consumer's mailbox, critics say.

This page has one hundred randomly generated email addresses (reload and new ones will appear). At the bottom of the page is a link to this page again, essentially reloading it for programs to collect more fake email addresses. Email collecting programs will be sent in an infinite loop by following the link at the bottom of the page and will get more and more fake email addresses stuck in their databases.

Extractions: MORE EMAIL SUBSCRIPTION DETAILS Spam and other commercial messages are throttling email's simple appeal. And no-one is offering a credible remedy. By David Walker Email marketing has soared back into favor as the US anthrax scare starts Americans worrying about opening envelopes. But that favoritism won't last. Because effective email marketing - and email of all sorts - is being squeezed by new waves of unsolicited "spam" email sweeping through inboxes the world over. Internet users are spending ever-increasing amounts of time weeding out invitations to "Work from the Comfort of Your Home!!!!", "See Hot Young Teens!" and "Increase Your Muscle Strength". My personal inbox favorites include the email message from Mr Sander Yuan at Chnze Electric Equipments Co. in Shanghai, soliciting expressions of interest in "nylon binging ties" and trumpeting his "experiences of exported our products to East-south Asia". Mr Yuan's email came to me from a colleague who works in marketing, with a wry, frustrated comment on the wonderful efficiency of "targeted email advertising". You know email marketing has struck trouble when even marketers broadcast their hatred of it.
Wired News: Virginia Passes Anti-Spam Bill
The governor says he'll sign the legislation, which would make sending junk email a crime and include stiff punitive penalties. AOL likes it; the ACLU doesn't. Wired News
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,18097,00.html

Extractions: 07:35 AM Feb. 24, 1999 PT Lawmakers in Virginia, home to Internet behemoth America Online, have adopted legislation that would make it a crime to spam. The bill, which Governor James Gilmore has promised to sign, would make Virginia the first state able to criminally prosecute people accused of sending mass unsolicited email. The measure, passed Tuesday, would have far-reaching implications because so much of data carried on the Internet flows through the state. The American Civil Liberties Union said it expected to challenge the anti-spamming bill on constitutional grounds. A spokesman for Virginia Attorney General Mark Earley said that Earley would defend the new law. "Spam is a scourge on legitimate Internet commerce," Earley spokesman David Botkins said. "This legislation is crucial to the high-tech business community, and Attorney General Earley is prepared to help with its enforcement, where appropriate."

Wired News: Well-Done Spam Cooked Pac Bell's Email

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,11684,00.html

Extractions: 12:15 PM Apr. 15, 1998 PT After analyzing an overload of email that hobbled its email service last month , Pacific Bell Internet Services concluded that several large coinciding spams were to blame. Though not coordinated or especially unique as spam goes, the timing and size of the bulk emails were able to score a direct hit on the ISP's mail servers. "The sizes of the spams were all different, but they were fairly large, and they hit at more or less the same time," said Ruben Cota, Pacific Bell's Internet vice president. In mid-March, Pacific Bell Internet Services saw an unprecedented load of spam over the course of four days, causing heavy, sporadic disruptions of email service to its more than 175,000 California customers. While there's nothing unusual about large amounts of spam flying around, its scope was notable in this case, said J.D. Falk, board member of
