Stichting Spamvrij (spamfree.nl foundation) Closing

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."

Filters... And losing important email.

So you are in a position of luxury where it doesn't matter if a legit email is filtered out every now and then. I'm sure it works for you.

But others want to make sure their filter doesn't filter out email they were supposed to read! It happens, you know.

I'm happy for you. You don't care if you lose a few non-spam messages. Well, I do, and even using filtering, spam is a major pain in the neck, as I need to go through it anyway, to make sure the filter didn't catch anything important.
