But Bob, thinking as a business owner - if spammers intentionally waste your time and money (as it has happened in the past, and maybe even related to your current thread regarding "Limit to 4 email" (*), why then shouldn't you be legally entitled to recover some of the costs, as for any other intentional damage inflicted on your business? For that you need some legal leverage. Those uninvited IP packets on your networks and machines are a form of modern trespassing. Sure, it won't *completely* solve the problem, like laws against trespassing haven't *completely* eliminated trespassing --but do you wish the government would have left it all just up to you to deal with trespassers? ...................Horst (*) even if SpamAssassin isn't the problem causing "Limit to 4 email" you are spending the time investigating it -- w/o the proliferation of spam you wouldn't have to :-) _______________________________________________ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
