IBM today released a free download of a new spam filtering tool, FairUCE (Fair use of Unsolicited Commercial E-mail), which it admits is not a full-fledged solution but a technology foundation that could one day reach the marketplace. Big Blue released the product under its AlphaWorks program in which technology innovations are distributed to developers who sign up as early adopters. Analysts were underwhelmed. “From what I can tell, there’s nothing really new here,” Lydia Leong,
principal analyst at Gartner, told TechNewsWorld.
