Anti-spammers are in disarray as a former employee is accusing Mail Abuse Prevention System LLC of "slimy" legal tactics. Nick Nicholas, former executive director at MAPS, posted comments online last week contending that MAPS executives had filed lawsuit affidavits that "are full of factual errors and material misrepresentations."
