sudden loss of spam
The amount of spam I get has fallen drastically in the last few weeks. Is this a sign of further globalisation - the US government finally moving in coalition with major monopoly capitalist bodies like Microsoft, to hunt down the spammers? And the spammers have suddenly got scared? I am afraid I am grateful. It is a step towards the global enforcement of global standards, and the capitalists are unfortunately in control. Chris Burford

Chris, I must be getting your spam, because my inflow has gone up. I can forward it to you if you want. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University Chico, CA 95929 Tel. 530-898-5321 E-Mail michael at ecst.csuchico.edu
Re: sudden loss of spam
A few months ago ISU introduced a filter of some kind that reduced spam flow radically. It's been creeping up since but hasn't yet reached the earlier level. Carrol

Re: sudden loss of spam
I have a spam filter and all of the spam sit in a folder called junk mail and every Sunday automatically they are deleted. Works quite well but some genuine mass mailings, such as news items, some pen-l postings get directed to the junk-mail folder, while some disclosing that they are the sons and daughters or widows of general so and so from Liberia, Nigeria...still show up in my inbox. I must say though the anatomical ones have disappeared even from the junk folder. cheers, anthony xxx Anthony P.
