SpamCop at receiving end of a restraining order

Venerable spam reporting outfit SpamCop has had a restraining order granted against it on behalf of alleged spammer OptInRealBig.com.

Venerable spam reporting outfit SpamCop has had a restraining order granted against it on behalf of alleged spammer OptInRealBig.com.

Scott Richter, the man responsible for OptInRealBig.com, is, of course, 'not a spammer', which makes the fairly large collection of data about him on ROKSO all the more surprising...

His grievances are mainly due to SpamCop's policy of hiding the spam-reporter's email address, thus preventing OptInRealBig.com from being able to comply with the CAN-SPAM act by removing complainants from their mailing lists.

ZDNet has more details.
