As far as the FTCs new "War On Spam", we should encourage everyone to foward SPAM emails to them. The more the better. That way when they get overloaded by the shear numbers of complaint SPAM emails, someone may start to realize the extent of the problem, the extent of our hatred of SPAM and the extent of our resolve to rid the world of this scurge!!

That way, the only messages that come into our system to be processed are those that are not yet coded into our filter mechanisms... In theory, as we grow our subscriber base and our footprint our filter's effectiveness will grow with the volume of spam reported from subscribers. I agree with you. If the FTC is running wide open (which we can assume from the article) then they will need some serious pre-processing power to handle the onslaught. _M | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Charles Frolick | Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 10:28 AM | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Sniffer | | | This is the last paragraph of the article. | | >Consumers can report spam to the FTC by forwarding it to | >uce+ftc.gov.
