'Buffalo Spammer' arrested in New York. "On Wednesday, Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said that his office brought four felony and two misdemeanor charges against Buffalo, N.Y., resident Howard Carmack for alleged identity theft and forgery that allowed him to send more than 825 million e-mail messages through the Internet service provider EarthLink.

People are getting concerned about the potential for challenge-response anti-spam systems to cause problems for mail lists and other legitimate emailers who can't supply manpower to respond to the challenges. Today I noticed two such articles, on TidBits and taint.org.
One of the biggest worries: "Challenge-response technology is about to become significantly more widespread... with EarthLink about to test such a system for its 5 million customers."

" After spending years cracking down on spammers, two prominent organizations that list senders of junk e-mail are fending off an unorthodox legal challenge by e-mail marketers.
In a case that's raising the hackles of antispam activists, a group of anonymous e-mail marketers are charging that two blacklisting sites, Spamhaus and SPEWS.org (Spam Prevention Early Warning System), have published false, misleading and libelous information about their business practices."
