You'll end up being either blocked, or you'll lose your Internet access. There's no point in fighting 'Net abuse with more 'Net abuse. Instead, complain to the ISPs. Use abuse.net to forward your complaints to the right people. Filtering doesn't work... you might not see the spam in your inbox, but it still hits your account. Because it gets delivered, and no complaints are filed, your address is deemed as "live" by the spammers, and will end up on even more Spamware "Millions of Clean Opt-In Addresses" CDs. -- Regards, Juha PGP fingerprint: B7E1 CC52 5FCA 9756 B502 10C8 4CD8 B066 12F3 9544 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
