http://www.theregister.co.uk/2000/01/11/work_hard_for_your_spam/But as you can see from The Register article the system is not perfect. The TPS service and MPS service do work 99% of the time though. I get only a handful of unwanted sales calls and may be 3 or 4 bits of unsolicited post in the year with these services
