 "We recognize that spam is a global problem," Microsoft general counsel Brad Smith told Reuters. "We are ramping up our efforts to combat spam around the world."
As marketers have increased their barrage of unwanted e-mails, the war on spam is heating up. Several antispam measures are making their way through Congress, and other firms are also taking spammers to court. The number of people installing e-mail filters is also on the rise.
Damages and court orders
Smith told Reuters that Microsoft would try to protect consumers from spam using tools that would allow them to block and filter e-mail. Recently, for example, the company tried to limit spammers' use of its Hotmail service by capping the number of outgoing e-mails that can be sent per day at 100.
