IBM Unveils Anti-Spam Services to Stop Spammers

bblazer writes "CNN Money is running a story about a new IBM service that spams the spammers. The idea behind the technology is that when a spam email is received, it is immediately sent back to the originating computer - not an email account. From the article, ""We're doing it to shut this guy down," Stuart McIrvine, IBM's director of corporate security strategy, told the paper. "Every time he tries to send, he gets slammed again."""

*THIS* is insightful? Although modern english grammar allows for "she", it is correct to use "he" to describe any person male or female without a sexist component.

Someone(s) sending spam from my email address

[zotz]

Someone(s) is sending spam pretending to be from my email address lately and I am getting tons of bounces, delivery failure notices, etc. Quite a pain.

Anyone else dealing with this? How do you cope? Right now I am still on the "suffer through" phase.

all the best,
