Contents: We have all been spammed at one time or another. But what can you do about it? How do we prevent it? Here is the site where those questions are answered. The SpamCom Foundation is a non-profit corporation based in San Francisco with the primary mission of reducing the amount of unsolicited email ("spam") flowing into mailboxes. An extensive "Library" link provides policies and approaches to alleviating unsolicited email. Anti-spam tools are provided for recipients, marketers, and system administrators along with reference to books and white papers on the issue of spam and its cost to businesses and individuals. There is a law center, which provides text of relevant legislation, legislative news, and information about actual cases and incidents. Of course, information on how to join the organization and help prevent the abuse of email is offered. Seems like that is a very laudable effort.
