I have gotten a dozen or so dishes of spam over the past few weeks. If it reaches a real critical mass, something should be done. I have always wondered..... How many emailed uuencoded fs dumps of returned spam would it take to fill an offending machine's var fs to slow it down? If everyone replied with a biggie dump of returned spam I am sure they would get the message? Let's see, a script to dish up a fs full of returned spam, uuencoded for clarity in transmission, split into 1 meg chunks for mailing, mailed in triplicate to assure message reception..... times several hundred irate folks.... That might do it..... nah, too easy..... RDK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
