Microsoft and New York's attorney general took aim at spam Thursday, with a series of lawsuits.
New York state authorities have arrested the e-mail marketer "Buffalo Spammer," in the state's first criminal case against a junk mailer.
A United States-based ISP has been awarded US$11.2 billion in a judgement against a Florida spammer who sent millions of unsolicited e-mails to its users.
Microsoft on Thursday in the United States plans to unveil new antispam tools for its MSN and Hotmail services, noting that it now blocks 2.4 billion e-mail messages targeting subscriber in-boxes every day.
Proposals to control the digital deluge in the US include a national "do not e-mail" list and criminal penalties for repeat offenders.
