Hello all,
I thought I'd pass this on and humbly offer this Halloween treat to the
SIMS community: Today Hypertouch filed a class action lawsuit against a
persistent spammer, Link It Software/AppSales, under California's anti-spam
law B&P 17538.45 which provides for $50/message. The full scoop is <a
href="http://legal.hypertouch.com";>here</a>. The results of my going to
small claims court, getting a judge pro temp with no case law to refer to,
were disappointing and by law uncorrectable. So...class actions protect
everyone, and I promise there will be no "confidential settlements." All of
our portion of any money recovered from the legal action will be donated to
non-profit organizations that provide the homeless and unemployed with
computer office skills training. We need help now in identifying and
counting every spam they have ever sent if anyone has a chance to go
through their spam logs. Side note: our attorney, <a
href="http://www.fallat.com";>John Fallat</a> is one of the two who saw that
California's other anti-spam law was <a

Of course, all of our mail servers are macs, running SIMS.
Happy Halloween,
Joe
