-- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12:08:42 PM 09/21/2004 -- It's illegal to send UBE (unsolicited bulk e-mail) here in the states, but that doesn't stop people from finding loopholes in the FCC regs or spoofing source addresses and IPs. If the post office didn't track where mail came from/went, you could put any return address on an envelope and no one would ever know it wasn't accurate. Heck, you might still be able to do that in some cities. *---------------------------------- The US post office doesn't track the return address on US mail, it tracks which post office it was processed in. You can put *anything* as the return address on a piece of mail. Look at the anthrax, mail fraud, and other cases.
Considering one of my US credit card companies preprints *their* address as the return address on my payment remittance envelopes is proof enough that it's not illegal, it's widespread. -- Donald Verhagen Application Development Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tandem Staffing Solutions, Inc. 1690 S Congress Avenue, Suite 210 Delray Beach, FL 33445 USA Voice Phone: 561.454.3592 Fax Phone: 561.454.3640 ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
