Traffic Magnet

A neat little paper about this spammer.

SPAM fighter

This filtering tool works with Outlook to clean out your inbox. Apparently, its best argument is the fact that it asks you to tell what message is SPAM. When several users report the same, the SPAM automatically is filtered out for the million other users. Recommended.

MailWasher Pro

MailWasher (an already very good SPAM filter) has been improved recently to MailWasher Pro. Recommended.

Spam instead of bombs? Really?

I would not have expected this in the worlld of SPAM. Today, we learn that the US Army is using this psychological weapon to convince Iraqi officers of defecting to the allied coalition...

Belgium starts fighting SPAM

Like the French CNIL in the recent months, the Commission of privacy of the Belgian government just opened a mailbox to receive SPAM: spam@privacy.fgov.be

It is an excellent first step in the right direction (fighting against SPAM). Kudos!

If you helped CNIL by sending sample SPAM to them, be thanked!

It had a great postive effect: five French companies will be tried to SPAM upon a formal request by CNIL for their SPAM activities. A very bright example and a major event in France where the fight against SPAM is escalating quickly now (and the European Directive against SPAM will be implemented in French law next year).

Kudos to CNIL!
