MAU> With all affection and respect to you: "There is no one blinder MAU> than that who doesn't want to see" :) ... or to put it another way, the work SpamCop does is not in stopping spam from reaching you but in making it hard for the folks who made it reach you in the first place. They close open relays; they get spam referred sites closed down; they get spammers ISPs in trouble with their upstream providers - and much more stuff like that. Without SpamCop, I reckon we would be saddled with an exponential amount *more* spam than we see. They complain to ISPs with a stronger voice and a greater authority than a single individual can muster by complaining to a single abuse@ email address. They have tracking technology to analyze the real routing of the spam you received and send complaints to all ISPs involved. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.63 Beta/6 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1rc1-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE+R9YwOeQkq5KdzaARAvnBAKCOC7E6R02N3pHVI4EaTZx/mNhL/wCaAzwP xdLNcvZZEI8o5odNaE3v0uw= =oAwI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
