Hi Garrett/Matt,

But my point is that since Spambeyes results cannot be 100% perfect, one

must search the pile every day for 'nuggets', and the pile continues to get

bigger with each passing month with no end in sight, as more and more people

take advantage of free advertising.

Note that I probably get more than the usual amount of spam in the 1st place

because I have 3 email ID's (for real reasons), and one of goes back to the

beginning of the net. It's on a ton of spam lists, somehow.

I've been reading lately about Bill Gate's commitment to stop it, but from

what I've seen so far, his solution involves proprietary code, so it's being

resisted as a standard (even though he's offering licenses for free ...

now).

Let's hope the loggerjam is unraveled soon enough, because we know it can be

(and BG confirms it too), it just takes the right actions in the right

places. An MS proprietary solution isn't the answer, but there does seem to

be a committee working on it, and hopefully they will prevail. I think that

the ISP level is a great place to focus on, and if SP3 finally fixes Windows

exposures, then we ought to be back on track with the Internet being the

greatest invention of all time.
