Personally, to me it's a waste of time.
Agree Diane. It is pretty much well known that Spam Cop is extremely ineffective in doing anything about Spam. My advice: Spend the $20 on SpamSieve and after a short training session, say bye bye to spam in the inbox :-) Feeling aggressive and want to "strike back?" OK, get SpamFire (a spam filtering program that hits up your ISP mail server, checks your email for spam, ID's the spam and then bounces the email back from your ISP mail server, ergo making the spammer think your email address is null. Of course this assumes that the spammer *cares* and will actually remove bounced email addresses from their spam DB (which they won't - too much work and besides they simply do not *care*) So, for me, I have opted for the SpamSieve solution - less hassles on my part, spam goes away, life is good :-) > They are talking about legislation similar to the national Don't call list > to limit spam and are already saying it will probably fail. We're doomed, I > say. Doomed! <big grin> Yep, because all they need to do is move the spam servers off shore :-( -- Hope this helps!
