    In other good news, IBM (Profile, Products, Articles) and Symantec (Profile, Products, Articles) are embracing a method to "spam the spammers." IBM has unveiled a technology called FairUCE (Fair Use of Unsolicited Commercial E-mail) that uses a database to identify computers sending spam and then directs the e-mail back to the spammers. Earlier this year Symantec introduced a similar system that sent mail from suspected spammers into a queue. This would ultimately slow down the spammer's servers.
