If you’ve noticed a sudden decrease in spam hitting your Inbox, there’s a reason. Last Tuesday, after a lengthy investigation, McColo Corp, a Web hosting service based in San Jose, California was shutdown for hosting clients who were engaged in “everything from sending spam to controlling compromised computers around the world and selling knock-off pharmaceuticals”.

Well as happy as I would be to see the end of spam I fear that it only continues to be a problem because it works. If nobody ever replied to these mails surely they would have stopped by now?
