Protesting the Spamvertisers

It's amazing how many familiar names from my e-mail box can be found on the listings at Clueless Mailers. It's a site devoted to UCE (unsolicited commercial e-mail). Clueless calls it spamvertising and offers ways to fight it. You'll find something the site has dubbed The Spamdemic Map which is a graphical depiction of the connections among spammers, and the Black List, a list of spamvertisers, the domain names they use, and the ISPs that look the other way. Perhaps most entertaining is the glossary, where you can find outthe definition of Joe Job, spamhaus, listpimp, and more.
