New Weapon in War on Spam
A column I read in eWeek's Convergence Points by Peter Coffee about a site called SenderBase by IronPort (makers of email management tools). Basically, instead of the slow and labor intensive whack-a-mole type spam solution. SenderBase goes after the nest of spam, the places where these enormous gouts of internet traffic must originate from. It monitors them and registers them as magnitudes of email traffic along the same lines as the Richter scale for measuring earthquakes.

I've added the link to Peter's columns to my Intelligence Links on the right and on the links page as well.
