This article is confusing, I thought it had meant Outlawing MS’ Outlook, not Mailservers running without valid icenses. I think the reporter who wrote this lacks some correct usage in webserver/mail server terminology. This seems murky, does this include running compromised webservers? Or servers that are misconfigured and used to spam? - I know China has a huge spamming problem. I know that spamvertised domains are hosted in China quite often. Is that issue being addressed at all in China?

I just hope the government doesn’t get involved. I think we have already lost alot of free speech. We don’t need the govenrment telling us if we add a link to a comment it’s “comment spam” and you’re going away for 10 years! I believe this is how police states are created. There has to be a way without involving the government. It’s really no good ayways becasue the spammers just go offshore. Economically not good becasue advertising dollar go to other countries.

Wow, well, I wonder how many spammers will go to China now that this law is in effect. The problem here is that foreign money will still be greater than the risk afforeded by penalties of the regulations for the people in China, especially the poor. This will stop some of the spam, but unfortunately I expect that most of the spam from there will continue.
