Hello,
I don't see this as a "threat of reprisal" as you put it.
The 'spammer' is simply stating that if you disrupt the email
account [EMAIL PROTECTED] then the only thing that could
happen is that it will be made more difficult for people to
unsubscribe.
If for example someone breaks into 123india.com and destroys
[EMAIL PROTECTED] then it wont do much good to the attacker,
or anyone else receiving the mass messages, this is not through
a action taken by the 'spammer' but results because of the destruction
of [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The 'spammer' is simply saying that to cool down the hotheads who
get pissed of at being spammed and decide to do something bad to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cheers,
