Recieving a few annoying email virii does not typically constitute "SPAM" and most certainly does not warrant a MAPS entry. Even if the virii are intentional, the correct response would be to let his ISP's abuse@ and local authorities handle the problem. I find it highly disturbing that folks have come to regard SPAM blackholing as an appropriate reaction to all sorts of behavior which are not SPAM related. -- Benjamin Krueger "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about." - Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Send mail w/ subject 'send public key' or query for (0x251A4B18) Fingerprint = A642 F299 C1C1 C828 F186 A851 CFF0 7711 251A 4B18 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
