Gov. Spam
: In a desperate, last-minute move to get stay elected, California Gov. Gray Davis is signing into law a tough anti-spam measure.
I wish other politicians in Washington were feeling just as desperate to stay elected and did likewise.

Of course, he spammed the whole State of California to let everyone know he is “against spamming”.
There are laws as such in Washington State (where I live), but what can you really do? -
Since most of the spam came from oversea, this has as much effect as law banning Earthquake. It’s yet another feel-good-do-nothing law.

Actually, most spam comes from the US… but yeah, I’ve gotten lots of spam in spanish & Chinese, & it’s gonna be impossible to stop any spam originating from outside the US…. still, if the A-hats in the US stop doin it, ah, that’d be nice.

There is one proven solution to the spam problem. That solution is SPEWS.
Rejecting mail from any known or suspected spam source creates an incentive for ISPs to stay well clear of spammers for ANY price.
