Spamhaus Guru Steve Linford Profiled

Posted by simoniker on from the snickety-snick dept.

BenLev writes "The New York Times has an article profiling Spamhaus Project director Steve Linford. The feature goes behind the scenes at Spamhaus, 'one of the leading groups that is trying to make the world safe from junk e-mail', showing that it operates from Linford's houseboat on the Thames near London, spammers don't like him, and his volunteer corps likens itself to the X-Men."

    The thing I don't understand is why I never get spam. Everyone complains about getting spam. I only get e-mails from things I sign up for. maybe I'm just careful, my hotmail account used to get spammed alot, and when I ran a linux mailserver I made a pretty script to add mail server that sent me spam to ipchains. I don't get it.

    But, I don't like spam!!
