Spam King gets restraining order against SpamCop


A bulk mailing company headed by notorious spammer Scott Richter has won a restraining order against anti-spam reporting service SpamCop.

Following an order by a Northern California District Court judge on Monday SpamCop is obliged to temporarily stop reporting complaints about Richter's company, OptinRealBig.com, to third-party ISPs. The order will apply until 20 May, when the two companies are scheduled to appear in court. SpamCop is fighting the main action but it failed to oppose the temporary restraining order.
