Posted by timothy on from the conservative-estimates dept.

The Llama King writes: "According to this AP story at The Houston Chronicle, 80 percent of the e-mail that makes its way into Hotmail's user inboxes is spam. And that does not include the UCE caught by Hotmail's filters. This is the first of a three-part series the Associated Press is doing on spam."

    The laws should require that ISPs provide you with any and all contact information for the person assigned the IP address from where the spam originated (provided that you can provide reasonable proof that the headers are legit).

    So you want to make anonymous email illegal? Sorry, I'm not up for that. It will be abused.
