Spam A Lot

Many people realize that stopping e-mail spam at the source,
while effective, is not easy. This TechWeb
article on the state of Massachusetts’ efforts to stop just
one spam ring is illustrative of the problems.

For example, they are trying to catch a Russian, living in
Boston, using domains registered in Monaco, Australia and France,
and servers in China, Korea, Brazil and Taiwan.

All I can say is good luck.

In the mean time, use spam filters such as, but not limited
to, SpamAssassin,
PopFile, or Clam Anti-Virus and you should
be able to catch 98 percent of the spam before it makes it to
your in box.

Speeding Through May

Speaking of the month of May, the Indianapolis 500 race is this
month. I caught some of the practice runs on TV and am amazed at
the huge cajones courage of these drivers. I
mean, who in their right mind would drive a race car in excess of
225 mph around a 2.5 mile loop just inches from the outside wall?
A split second of inattention will ruin your whole day…

Aloha!
