"Seattle-based Spam Arrest LLC is one of a handful of firms offering what some see as a promising new technology. When someone sends an e-mail to a user of Spam Arrest, he or she gets an automatically generated e-mail back asking to verify that the sender is a live person.
After the sender confirms by identifying a word or picture on the screen, the original e-mail is allowed to get to its destination. This thwarts auto-generated e-mail.
But the software also allows Spam Arrest to capture senders' e-mail addresses, and it recently sent them a solicitation for the Spam Arrest software.
'It was a one-time mailing,' said Spam Arrest chief executive Cameron Elliott. 'We'll probably choose not to do this again.'" [Washington Post]
