Hey Dave --

Saul Hansell has a story already online about this morning's CANSPAM suits:

Four major Internet providers said today they filed a series of lawsuits
meant to shut down some major senders of unsolicited junk e-mail known as
spam. The suits are among the first to invoke the federal Can-Spam Act,
which went into effect on Jan. 1.

So far the law has not done anything to stem the torrents of spam. In
February, 62 percent of all e-mail was spam, according to Brightmail, an
e-mail filter company. That is up from 58 percent in December.
