Stichting Spamvrij (spamfree.nl foundation) Closing

Posted by Hemos on from the a-sad-day dept.

TeVi writes "Stichting Spamvrij.nl (Spamfree.nl foundation), the authority on spam in The Netherlands, has decided to stop. Spamfree.nl gained international attention for their fight against the CyberAngels spammers. More information can be found on their website regarding the shut-down." It's the classic story of too much work to do, not enough time; meanwhile another reader notes: "Some new anti-spam products out there - but everyone seems to agree that even Sender ID ideas and laws won't do much."

    "Maybe some Altruistic Billionaire would be interested in funding these guys. Especially guys who have a track record contributing to the public good."

    Maybe he could secure the operating-system he sells first, so it doesn't get used to send spam...
