Federal authorities in Chicago say they've shut down one of the largest
spam e-mail operations in the world. The Federal Trade Commission says the
group generated e-mails promoting sales of prescription drugs and "male
enhancement" pills.

The FTC says authorities closed the operation by working with their
counterparts in New Zealand.

The FTC plans to provide more details at a news conference in Chicago later
in the day.

That's news to me -- I'm still getting spam for "male enhancement"
products. :-)
