No, it's not! Commercials in the media pay their fair share to the
media. Spammers, w/o permission, abuse services from the ISPs and
our
inboxes without paying their fair share. Spammers are thieves.


Ok, good point.

So, do _you_ want to volunteer to track them down and arrest them so
that
we can lynch them?

I did my volunteering back in the mid- to late-'90s. I'm long past the
point of being burned out. I used to keep a blacklist of recipes for
the procmail filter that I ran on my unix shell acct. I used to get the
original King of Spam, Spamford Wallace's Cyberpromo spams. He's
recently been in the news for infecting PCs with a spyware in order to
sell them a spyware removal program. Dirty, stinking, filthy,
ex-spammer rat!

BTW, there are spam filters that will run under Procmail or Perl
scripts. Check them out, especially if they're Bayesian filters.

In the interim, here's a blacklist:

Just add them to your firewall's "DROP" list.
