After reading the article, I guess those of us running IMail processing rules, Kill files, and Declude are now labeled anti-Spam activist! Wasn't there a post not too long ago about the Federal Government wanting to collect data to do the same?

"Joe the Lawyer" -- The guy that runs ORBZ is facing legal action because his computers indirectly caused a mail server of the town of Battle Creek, Michigan to go haywire, because it was running buggy software. The is no indication that there are any criminal charges being brought against anyone in the U.S. for blocking messages. http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,51218,00.html claims that the ACLU says that "publishing an Orbz-style blacklist [is] legal".
