A federal judge has awarded an Internet service provider more than $1 billion in what is believed to be the largest judgment ever against spammers.
Robert Kramer, whose company provides e-mail service for about 5,000 subscribers in eastern Iowa, filed suit against 300 spammers after his inbound mail servers received up to 10 million spam e-mails a day in 2000, according to court documents.
