Not exactly

I tried that.

Then I got a message back that I would have to activate cookies and accept 
their confirmation progran in order to send messages to someone who I did not 
send a message to.

BLUNTLY! I will be damn if I am going to activate cookies, accept cookies that 
contain admitted spyware which once accepted will then NOT allow the message 
to pass as the ISP has assume that one is running a Windows not Linux.

Not only is this spam but it is a blatant attempt to infect other computers 
with spyware which fortunately will not run on a Linux box.

And as far as the size of the ISP I personally just don't give a damn. 
Spy ware is spyware and spam is spam.

End of story.
