Tony...Read the OP from Lou... it was in jest.
I never felt dis'd, so it's all good. The OP was in jest, so I
replied in kind. I added the [/sarcasm] tag to make it plain that
the preceding paragraph was in jest; well I thought it was plain,
anyway. The only thing I said in seriousness was comment about the
sad part being how many people fall for those scams.
I regards to Wayne's reluctance to report anything to SpamCop, I
certainly see his point. If they are publishing a list of IPs from
which spam was received, what if it was a dynamic IP? If a provider
blocks that IP based on the SpamCop list, the poor soul that gets it
next may find himself SOL. It's even worse if a provider decides to
block an entire domain based on that report. It's fruitless anyway,
because the spammer is just going to move on to another address. I
think that methodology hurts far more people than it helps.
Spam, like the junk in my snail-mailbox, is a fact of life. You can
filter and delete it, but you are never going to stop it any more
than you can hold back the tide with a broom.
