Politech: U.N. bureaucrats want to help you reduce your spam [sp]

[Declan McCullagh <declan () well com>]

[I don't know enough about what happened at the UN meeting to have any 
specific reaction (I wasn't at this one). My general feeling is that 
improving government cooperation against spammers is likely to do more 
good than harm, and the UN is one potential vehicle for it. Then again, 
the number of spammers blocked or put out of business by any government 
anywhere seems tiny. We don't have time to wait a decade or even five 
years for a international anti-spam treaty. Technical countermeasures 
including domainkeys/SPF are by far the quickest and most efficient ways 
of dealing with spam right now. --Declan]

Hullo Declan,

I'm sure Politech readers would look forward to your take on the UN/spam
story - there were 200+ out there. I chose this one at near-random
