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 and New York's attorney general took aim at spam Thursday, with a series of lawsuits.
The Direct Marketing Association intends to help the FBI nab spammers--and help preserve its members' ability to send commercial e-mail.
Virginia Attorney General Jerry Kilgore announced Thursday that his office had made its first felony indictment under the state's antispam law.
Proposals to control the digital deluge in the US include a national "do not e-mail" list and criminal penalties for repeat offenders.
It is vital that the tech industry raises awareness of the scale of the problem of junk e-mail, industry experts said.
