Here is what the FTC's web page says: <http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/online/inbox.htm> What Can I Do With the Spam in my In-Box? Report it to the Federal Trade Commission. Send a copy of unwanted or deceptive messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] The FTC uses the unsolicited emails stored in this database to pursue law enforcement actions against people who send deceptive spam email. Now if we just knew what deceptive spam is the FTC wouldn't need as much WOM. The FTC also says to send unwanted messages to them. I get a lot of those. Some are even spam. I suspect sending anything to the FTC is a waste of bits.
