    This is totally redundant. Didn't the new CAN-SPAM act in the USA completely eradicate all spam everywhere? Including hidden Weapons of Marketing Directly?

    Snip from anonymous coward:

    How is this relevant to the other 99.999% of the globe who don't live in Hawaii and couldn't use their service?

    Answer from article:

    Participants can be anywhere in the world, though Spammo filters for English language only so far.

    People, please read the articles before posting.

    lefty.ca (My mail provider) catches better than 99.5% of my spam. We use greylisting, and Spamassassin. Works great.

  4. As a former LavaNet customer... by welshsocialist · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I lived in Hawaii from 1999 to 2002. I used LavaNet's dial up service. I was very pleased with their service. Their dial-up connections were fast as dial up connections can be. (That is, downloading Mozilla took 45 minutes to an hour). The staff was very friendly and support was very smart and helpful and not braindead.

    If their quality is the same as it was when I was living there, then I feel that this new anti-SPAM product will work well and kick ass.

    I encourage people to help LavaNet test this product.
