Microsoft Corp. and New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer are joining forces to attack unsolicited e-mail, also known as spam, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Mr. Spitzer today is expected to file civil petitions alleging that three companies, and their principals, violated consumer-protection laws by sending deceptive and misleading e-mails, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Microsoft is expected to pursue similar action in Washington state against the same three companies, alleging that they unlawfully used Microsoft's computers to send misleading, deceptive and unsolicited commercial e-mail to users of Microsoft's Hotmail service.
