AOL has a long history of fighting junk e-mailers. The company has filed about 20 lawsuits with more than 100 defendants. It's also played up spam-filtering technology in its new Web access software, AOL 8.0, which launched in October. The software lets subscribers report spam with the click of a button. The process helps AOL bolster its filtering technology. Since the software's launch, the company said, AOL has been able to reduce the amount of incoming spam by 20 percent as a result of members' spam reports.
