INBOX TRAUMA: NEW ANTI-SPAM TOOLS FALTER
Associated Press

Software makers have spent millions of dollars developing new tools for
battling spam, and a new federal anti-spam law went into effect on Jan.
1. So are our e-mail inboxes any less cluttered? In the week since the
law took effect, spam-filtering company Brightmail Inc. flagged 58
percent of incoming e-mail as spam, showing no change from December.
And America Online Inc. saw a 10 percent jump in spam from overseas,
possibly from spammers trying to evade U.S. law.
