Microsoft, AOL, EarthLink and Yahoo are filing lawsuits under Can-Spam against what they say are six of the most prolific spammers. Most of the suits are against John Doe but this is the first step in tracking down who is responsible.

It's good to see. It's not a permanent solution, fixes need to be made to the e-mail system itself, but it’s nice to see somebody taking the spammers to task.
