  YOUR MESSAGE WILL BE IGNORED.

I am refusing mail from you or your site, on the grounds of previous
junkmail, unwanted advertising, or harrassing email from you or originating
from your site. Also, I refuse messages originating from rogue sites that
are known not to respond adequately to complaints or that condone sending of
unsollicited commercial email.

If you really have a legitimate need to contact me, or your site has
improved its track record (e.g. by extending the Acceptable Use Policy or
Terms of Service to combat junk mail and spam), let your system
administrator mail me through a 'root', 'postmaster' or 'abuse' account.

Please note that I am probably not the only one who is blocking mail from
your site. If you don't want to be associated with internet abusers,
consider switching to another internet access provider.

[REFUSED message deleted]

I appreciate help via email very much (which is why my Usenet posts don't
have mangled From:s). However, I don't want to waste time on junk email
(aka UCE, aka bulk mail aka mail spam), which is why I use a filter to
bounce messages from sites known to send (or condone sending) junk mail.
wco.com is (or at least, was) among those. That is why, on 961127, I added
it to my filter.

If wco has improved its behaviour, I'll be glad to remove it from my filter.
