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".

Time to go back to law school!
