Ian Hill writes: "This BBC article tells how NY State Attorney Elliot Spitzer has sued marketing firm MonsterHut.com over "millions" of unsolicited e-mails. He claims MonsterHut.com falsely told its clients that e-mails sent on their behalf were sent to addresses who registered themselves as interested parties. Also at question is how exactly these addresses were collected." eviljim adds a link to a press release from New York's Attorney General and a reminder of how MonsterHut was disconnected from their ISP.

  1. Korean Spam by kin_korn_karn · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    the majority of the spam I get is chinese/japanese/korean shit that I can't even read anyway.

    Is there a way to filter spam by charset?
