DETROIT — Verizon Internet Services has settled its lawsuit against Alan M. Ralsky, who some consider to be among the world’s most persistent spammers. The settlement permanently restricts Ralsky and his company, Additional Benefits, from sending bulk email on any of Verizon’s networks. Ralsky also must pay the company an undisclosed fine.

“Ralsky is one of the better-known spammers out there,” said John Mozena of Grosse Pointe Woods, vice president of the Coalition Against Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail.
