The SMH has an interesting piece about the increasingly cloak-and-dagger battle against spammers.

"The SPEWS site is registered to a holiday resort in Russia. There's no email address, no telephone number. They have a number of Web sites where they mirror their list of bad boys, so they can't be shut down. And all they are doing is publishing an opinion."

Most of today's email spam, however, comes from a handful of culprits, described by Barry and others as "known criminals".
