MessageLabs' chief technology officer, Mark Sunner, said the US Can Spam law and the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive had created confusion and gave companies a false sense of security. "These laws are probably creating more problems than they are solving," he argued. "We can show the legislation is not working because we have collated the data and are seeing the growth rates in spam since they were introduced."Sunner argued that the Can Spam Act has a major shortcoming. "It assumes spammers are scrupulous and will abide by the law," he said. "The EU directive is confused and is being interpreted in different ways by each member state."Sunner added that ISPs could do more to protect end users. "If the water that came out of your taps was filthy and you had to filter it you wouldn't be very happy," Sunner said. "ISPs are basically giving us the equivalent of sewage. If they installed protection at the internet gateway this problem could virtually disappear http://www.vnunet.com/Analysis/1154989

Nothing so important as email

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1614153,00.asp?kc=EWRSS03119TX1K0000594
Vinton Cerf, a co-designer of the TCP/IP protocol who's considered a father of the Internet, told attendees during his opening keynote at the Email Technology Conference here Thursday that e-mail should be thought of as "a metaphor of your workspace." It is used for everything and can be used to index and backup everything afterwards.

Block your port 25 for your clients

Comcast confirmed last week that their network is the largest single source of spam on the Internet. PCs on Comcast's network send over 800 million messages daily, with over 80% of those coming from PCs belonging to Comcast subscribers. These PCs were turned to dark side when their owners unwittingly launched "spambots" by clicking on e-mail attachments, and the majority of their owners are unaware that their computers are spitting out spam
Comcast was reportedly considering blocking port 25, but the expected deluge of tech support calls from people looking for help reconfiguring their e-mail clients ruled that option out. Instead, they are going with a more novel approach: Comcast's engineers plan to try the innovative approach of identifying the zombie PCs and surreptitiously sending the subscriber's cable modem a new configuration routine that prevents outbound connections on port 25. Zombie-infected users won't even notice, the thinking goes, because most people use Comcast's mail servers for outgoing e-mail. Anyone wrongfully blocked can call and complain http://arstechnica.com/news/posts/1085415169.html

In a network you should direct all mail to your mailserver and all other mail should be refused (because it is originated by infected pc's) because http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/DateAllThreadedweb/da4206714aee132785256d7a00446ccf?OpenDocument Blocking spam without DNSBLs The technique to block mails from individual pc's that are infected with spamming viruses or taking over by spammers.
