Is this nuts or what....

[DVD_Ripper]

I don't sign up for a lot of junk with my Yahoo account and this is only two weeks worth of SPAM Email.

spammers should be publicly castrated

As opposed to private castrations? Now I'm convinced.

Wow! a free flat screen, you'd be stupid not to do it

What's amazing is a majority of these emails are all breaking the US Federal CANSPAM Law. Full Postal Mailing Address and valid Opt out mechanism are both required but often not found.

You go get them DVD_Ripper. Find those IP & email addresses and notify the Federal Gov't what's going on and shut those SPAMs**tters down.

What's bad is they actually fined "Home How to" mogul, Bob Vila, for violating this law... (he was the first)

The law was really aimed at Pornography and stopping that email.... but the greedy lawyers know they aint ever gonna find them but Bob was ripe for the picking.

Funny, Cabot Chese sends me a simple letter with specials each month... after the law was established they sent me a lletter that broke the law... I emailed them back and told them about the law and the next month they were adhearing to it perfectly..... Damn gov't ... making it too easy to get the big guys and they will do nothing about the real problem ... .unsolicited Porn or other shit emails.

I read an article last week that the FBi arrested 165 spammers, but most spams these days come out of russia. I think US ISP's should just block all IP's from russia and be done with it.

[Doramius]

I just think they need to re-address how the emails are sent. They can easily set up a system where emails get sent on .eml instead of .com or .org, OR all together have it .eml.com . All the companies can flop over this way no problem. Not very hard and shouldn't be expensive either. Once that is done there can be a tracing system made that requires messages to be sent only from valid email addresses. If it cannot be verified as a valid email address, then the message is blocked. If it can be verified, then the message will go through. If emails are suspected of SPAM, then the sending addresses are shut down and/or investigated. SPAM 'MUST' be sent out in large quantities at a single time for it to be profitable without getting caught. Setting up email in the way I stated above will either force spammers to slowly send out emails a few at a time, making it less or not profitable, or they will easily be caught on a mass mailer. Large quantites will be traced and then the companies will be audited for verified lists showing they legally have the right to mass mail to the large group they are sending the messages out to.

That wont work, they will just spoof legitimat email addresses and they already do that now.... It has to be by IP

But you can trace the IP easier if you separate emails this way. How else would they be able to monitor the large quantities of emails being sent from one source. If a single source send out 3000 emails in 5 minutes, it'll make that IP address stick out like a sore thumb, and that's a low level.

Sorry Cap, I had to sign you up so I could get my free sub to Midgets Unlimited. Don't hold it against me, I'll even mail you the mags after I'm done with them.

[Doramius]

Just don't send them to him if they're sticky. He hates it when the pages warp or rip. Helpful hint, Capmaster keeps a wad of toilet paper near by.

[ViRaL1]

Oh well. I'll have to come up with something else then. I believe PayPal was mentioned earlier.

[gitreel]

That is why I have more than 1 mailbox.

I have one just for spam.

There are anti-spam laws in Australia now, but they are not uniform worldwide. A great pity

I'll bet if you order anything from the mail-order section, say ....something made of vinyl .....you'd want me to hold it against you

[Doramius]

I'd want to know where you held it before that point in time.

[Capmaster]

I'd want to know where you held it before that point in time.

You should already know where it's been

You can admit to your sick porn fetishes. We won't laugh at you. WE promise. [fingers crossed] We have packets of dry ready-mix gravy already added to the list. What more can you add? Laundry detergent, warm anti-freeze, S&M sex with fishing tackle, king size Snickers bar after 10 seconds in the microwave?
