Re-sending. Sorry for duplicates. Okay. Who's big idea is this? Via C|Net News. [snip] Spammers beware--hostile amphibians are once again rising against you. First there was Blue Frog, a community antispam effort that stopped operating last week after Blue Security, the company that started the project, came under a withering denial-of-service attack. Out of the ashes comes Black Frog, part of a project that is apparently willing to become a flag bearer in the fight against spam. The project, dubbed Okopipi, is developing the Black Frog antispam software and service as an open-source project, according to the group's wiki. "This project aims to become a distributed replacement of antispam software Blue Frog," the Okopipi wiki states. [snip] Bad, bad idea. This should be quite entertaining. Sounds like a death wish for their service to me, considering what happened to Blue Security. More here: http://news.com.com/2100-1029_3-6076617.html - ferg -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
