mr2mk1g 10 #1 December 3, 2004 Lycos just released a screensaver which uses a pc's down time to fight spam. Working in the same way that the SETI and Folding screensavers, this new free product attempts to create DOS attacks on spamers websites or otherwise massivly increase their bandwith expenditure. Read a full article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4051553.stm Or download the program here. http://makelovenotspam.com/intl/index.html (it appears the site is down at the time of posting... perhas the demand is high or perhaps the spamers are already fighting back).

Dumpster 0 #2 December 3, 2004 Apparently the campaign was put on hold - Lycos' program was shutting some sites down, which wasn't thier intention. I guess the program was working a little too well? Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WFFC 1 #3 December 3, 2004 better solution...get your own webserver and tweak the mail filter rules on the box. Went from 800+ spams a day to 6 in one day...All the good emails appear to be getting through so I guess I did it right... ----- ~~~Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
