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."

    ... and another one comes, ... and another one comes,
    (repeat ad nauseum)

    Unfortunately, the subject refers to the spam-fighting groups, and the body refers to spam itself. Sad.
