Spamhaus fights court ruling

Operators of the Spamhaus block list project <A HREF="http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2032424,00.asp?kc=EWINFEMNL101806EOAD">will appeal an Illinois court's ruling</A> that could shutter the effort if upheld, while other researchers contend that unwanted email campaigns reached an all time high during the third quarter of 2006. In a document filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois by Spamhaus' lawyers on Oct. 13, the project's directors indicated that they will fight the court's September ruling that awarded $11.7 million in damages to e360insight, an email marketing company that claims it was unfairly labeled as a bulk spammer by the organization.
