I think most in Congress are fully aware of the spam problem.
Since using government equipment for personal use is frowned upon (and IIRC illegal) I
figure that most members of Congress probably have personal email
addy's outside the .gov domain. Possibly web based accounts for a degree of
anonymity.
Besides, I'm sure lots of them don't want any emails from their girlfriend
(boyfriend???), etc. ever being found on a government computer. Could end up a
*scandal* in a hurry.
However, people SHOULD express their views about spam to them. They won't act if they
think people don't care.

hobo
