I used to get ticked off each time I got a piece of spam.
I would go to great lengths to try and stop it.
(send a spam report via spamcop.net and the send 10 CCs to each and
every server the spamcop report had identified)
The result.... EVEN MORE SPAM !!!
So, my reaction from staryting about 2 monthsa go..... link to the
trash button and forget it.
Result.... the flow of spam has been reduced.
(only one this week and it is currently in my trash bin)
