Spammers feel the heat!

According to a source from the Mumbai cyber crime cell, the Information
Technology Act of India does not have any anti-spamming laws. And the amount
of complaints with regards to spamming is almost negligible. But, they do
receive calls asking for help to stop small-time spam email. The source also
told us that spammers who indulged in blocking sites and other major
notorious cyber crimes could be tried by the law under various other
sections of the IT Act. The source also mentioned that if an anti spam law
was needed, the Government of India would waste no time in implementing one.
According to the Mumbai Cyber Crime Cell, blocking the sender, an option
that is available with most email services, can stop spam. Another way to
further ensure that one does not suffer from spam is to strengthen or
upgrade an existing firewall.
