We don't expect to have much by way of news, but from time to time interesting things could happen. You can look here to find details if anything significant does occur.

Spamvertized domain names and IP addresses now provide a detailed
whois report when clicked. This information makes it easier for
semi-technical Internet users to track down resources allocated to
spam organizations. As usual, naive users should be wary of using
such information to issue abuse reports. Sending such a report to
a spam organization may have negative results.

We've redesigned our site. Now there will always be a menu on the
left hand side of the page. This will let us fix one or two quirky
issues due to arriving at a spam sample directly from a
search engine. Other planned updates will also be easier to effect.

New user discussion forums have been added. We
hope to help people learn about spam issues and to learn about ways
we can improve our web offering. Have something to say? Drop us a
line.

Links to authoritative sources of anti-spam information have
been added. This information is presented on pages showing
spamvertising details -- so that users arriving via a search
engine can be pointed to user oriented information.

Samples of email suspected to be spam are presented for user review.
This allows users to judge for themselves if suspected spam is in fact
likely to be unsolicted commercial email (UCE) or unsolicited bulk
email (UBE). The odd mistake does still sneak through.
