Spammer Gets Sentenced To 9 Years!

I am in a constant battle to control the spam coming into my numerous email accounts. I am holding hundreds of domain names, and I've had to setup email accounts for at least a portion of these names, especially the names that I've partially or fully developed. The spam filter I'm using is effective but it's not perfect; I don't think it's possible to design the perfect spam filter. SpamBayes is well designed and I applaud the efforts of its creators, but I still need to spend my precious time "coaching" the software so that it can understand which email I want to keep and which should be banished to the junk mail folder.

You can imagine the grin that came across my face when I learned that a spammer has been sentenced to nine years in prison for spamming through AOL's servers. And this guy was sending out the worst kind of unsolicited email: he was trying to trick people into buying phony products and services. A spammer and a scammer.

I think it's important to set an example in this case so I think a long sentence is warranted. Life? That's a bit too extreme I think! Can you imagine what it would be like to lose 9 years of your life to prison?

Thanks for checking out my blog.

I use a free spam filter called Cactus Spam Filter. It learns what I say is spam. I haven't had one email go into the deleted folder that shouldn't have.
