Tips for Reducing Unsolicited E-Mail (AP)

AP - Tips for reducing the amount of unsolicited e-mail

[Yahoo! News - Technology ]

Including sending copies of your spam to uce(at)ftc.gov.

Does this strike anyone else as odd? AP warns you to not put your email address on websites, because you will get spam. And the government wants you to send the spam to the address uce(at)ftc.gov. But they've obfuscated the email uce(at)ftc.gov so that spammers won't send spam to that address. Although they do want you to send spam to that address.

Maybe they don't want spam sent there; they want it forwarded there and flagged as "spam" by a third party.

Who knows what bizarre regulations are involved.
