I've been hit many times by the same bozos. They
almost always use
unsuspecting sites as spam relays, so I've been notifying these sites and
trying to shutdown the relays.
I love the spaminator idea, but isn't your phone
bill going to be pretty
high this month? Also, the way spammers retaliate against retaliators is
to include your email address as the return address in their forged
headers, so you get mail-bombed by naive spam haters.
Lawsuits appear to be the only effective weapon so
far.
Thats one thing I realy like about the German laws - spamming
via any kind of personal device is forbidden - no fax-spam,
no telex spam and no e-mail spam. Spaming is considered stealing
your property, since the spammer uses your fax paper and your
power line to print his message, and/or your time to check
and delete spam. And theft is just unlawful :)
After just 4 or 5 court ruleings spamming _IN_ Germany is
almost zero - we just have SPAM from outside the country
like senseless US-Spamm :)
