Microsoft, along with other Internet industry players, is due to announce Wednesday lawsuits against spammers under the CAN-SPAM Act. The software giant also will detail a technical initiative aimed at stopping the onslaught of unsolicited e-mail, a company representative reveals. The lawsuits announced under CAN-SPAM will be among the first since the law took effect on January 1, and will target "serial spammers," a Microsoft representative in Europe says.
Microsoft will also discuss plans for its Caller ID e-mail specification, the representative says. The sender authentication technology that aims to thwart the spoofing of e-mail addresses--a common spammer tactic--was talked up by Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates at the RSA security conference in San Francisco last month.
