Patrick, I agree that something has to be done. The implied threat at the end of this particular piece of SPAM really disturbs me. Personally, I hate SPAM and I am beginning to hate SPAMMERS to the point of loosing objectivity. ConNet80 is a very small ISP, but we have been in business for a few years now and have a loyal customer base. We just spent a lot to time and money trying to reduce the probability that some SPAMMER would use us for relaying. I would have preferred to use the resources to improve other services to our customers, but our duty here is clear -- we have to do everything reasonable to make it impossible for these freeloaders to do business. Even direct-mailers have to buy postage, but SPAMMERS get a free ride, courtesy of you and me. I'm tired of it. I am willing to do my part to help out in any reasonable co-operative effort. It's a damn shame that FreeBSD ISP's are being singled out by these low lifes, but since it's happening, we should deal with SPAMMERS "appropriately." -mel lester Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
