UK sets sights on spam - BBC
The UK Government is determined to crack down on the menace of unwanted and unsolicited e-mail. It is proposing a fight back against the spammers with strict new rules about how personal e-mail details are used. From October, a European Union directive will make unsolicited e-mails illegal across member states and the UK Government is planning to have its legal framework in place at the same time. Spam accounts for as much as 40% of global e-mail traffic and is causing a headache for businesses, costing them billions in lost productivity.
