Spam message volume drops by 50 per cent in a day
By Jack Riley
Volumes of spam email being sent across the internet plummeted
yesterday, after a San Jose-based company was taken offline.
McColo, a web hosting company based in California, was believed to be
responsible for up to 75 per cent of the spam sent in the United
States.

Yes, I heard about that too, however, my spam has still been increasing.

If it has been dropping so significantly, why aren't the perpetrators
in jail?

Because there are so few laws that allow criminal prosecution of spam
senders, and while services may be bought through US companies like
this, the perpetrators themselves are typically outside the US. I
read a statistic once that 80% of all spam worldwide was due to 4
people... 3 of them in Russia.
