hmmm... decisions... decsions... 1. Let the spammer know we're fighting back in which case they might try other tactics? or change tactics? or ?? or 2. Let them think we're an easy target so they keep on doing what they're doing except more of it and even invite their buddies to join in.
I think I'd rather minimize the load and let the kill list do it's thing. I want the spammers know I'm fighting back. Maybe they'll get the message that I may bruise but I don't break and go find a different playground. It's a battle that won't end any time soon, so I'd rather make them work for it. ~JP~ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Davidson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 5:02 PM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] kill file vs blacklist > A little food for thought on using the Imail kill file versus the declude > blacklist... > > The Imail kill file refuses the mail at the SMTP level which may alert the > spammer that your blocking them.
