AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- One of the world's most notorious spammers has
settled lawsuits with the state of Texas and Microsoft Corp. that cost
him at least $1 million, took away most of his assets and forced him
to stop sending the nuisance e-mails.

Ryan Pitylak, 24, who graduated from the University of Texas last
month, has admitted sending 25 million e-mails every day at the height
of his spamming operation in 2004.
