Spam Conference in Boston

bpfinn writes "Are you working on your own anti-spam solution? Would you like to compare notes with other coders? You'll get your chance at the Spam Conference in Cambridge on January 17, 2003. Among the speakers are: Paul Graham (of "a plan for spam" fame), ESR, John Graham-Cumming (of "POPFile" fame), and Matt Sergeant from MessageLabs. According to the homepage, this conference will be very informal: "no fees, sponsorships, proceedings, luncheons, contests, etc. Just a series of quick, concentrated talks, and then we all go off and get Chinese food." Slashdotters who are peeved about spam can register here."

    Isn't this a report from a while ago? I distinctly remember cracking a hilarious joke about the conference invitations being sent as unsolicited email. It got moderated as -1: Flamebait after a while.

    Please tell me this is a repost and I am not making this up, otherwise I am in for psychiatric treatment. (with wild look in his eyes) Ma, I see unpublished Slashdot stories!

    I use various methods for filtering spam but by far the most effective one is to just randomly delete files ;)

    Ps: also replying to the emails promising to eliminate spam aren't a good idea :P
