MailBlocks Tries To Block Spam Blocker Technology

Our patent system is becoming crazy if MailBlocks can stop EarthLink from deploying a challenge-response e-mail system just because it thought of the idea first. EarthLink Is Sued by Holder of Anti-Spam Patents.

You can't patent ideas, only inventions. If someone figures out a way to do something with a different process or using different technology, a patent is not a barrier. So what's the problem, Phil?
