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."

    I agree. I was so pissed of with all the junk mail I was getting through the post few years ago I abandoned my house so my address was worthless to them. Altering my lifestyle completely and living in a cardboard box under a bridge can be a bit of a chore but its worth it not to let the spammers win.

    "Spamhunters" the tv-show. I'm serious! Think about it, several episodes of pretty ppl running around with wifi-gear and blinkenboxes and having lovelife-problems while hunting down spammers, crackers, 419ers, identity thieves, pedos, virus writers, whatever. It seems to be the only way of educating the public these days. CSI: Internet, you know it makes sense!
