Hiya Gang!
I couldn't let this one pass anylonger, hehe...sorry, but blocking entire
domains or ISPs just because a user receives 1 or 2 "spam" emails
from some address purported to be owned by that domain/ISP is
akin to denying access to the Internet to an ENTIRE race of humans.
In other words, would those of you that espouse blocking entire ISPs
or domains due to alleged spam mailers also "block" or restrict the
access to a retail establishment, or say a restaurant, to all members
of the Caucasian race because ONE person that happened to be
Caucasian passed a bad check at the place of business? Or how
about refusing to employ ALL Spanish-speaking Americans because
ONE person gave you a good cussing in Spanish? That is the analogy
that most fits the tactic of blocking domains and ISPs because of an
alleged spam email message. Remember people, many spammers
forge the headers, domains, etc. that are "readily" visible in a spam
email. Only on close inspection can you determine a "true" point-of-
origin. FWIW---I have a Yahoo account (3 of 'em to be exact), still have
a Hotmail address...by golly, I receive more spam to those accounts
than I have ever seen that appeared to originate from them.
That's my 2 cents worth...I can spare it this week, hehe, my paycheck
was a bit more than usual, finally got a little extra pay for all the extra
hours I've been putting in!
C U L8R!
