Re: Unsoclicited Commercial Email

I was filtering and deleting the spam for months but a few weeks ago decided to
try to do something about it.
I investigated a couple of sites after reading an article on ORBZ.
After using SpamCop to identify the ISP's of the spammers and e-mailing them
with the details of the spam and SpamCop reports, I've had a dramatic reduction
in the number of spam e-mails I receive. It hasn't stopped completely but I only
get about 10% of what I was getting.

Every little bit helps.

YA, I loved the MoFo reference, bouncing back to my youth and the street
slang we used. That was DEFINITELY one that you could get away with and most
folks were clueless as to what it was :-)

And I just hope more folks can go after these spamming bozo's.

This does point out the main problem with this whole though; as much as I
hate to see tons of federal laws, each state having to pass its' own laws on
this is dumb and should be handled at the federal level. Of course then the
really big low-life's in all of this will just use off-shore servers... :-(

For a second, I thought I was reading an april fools story.

Is the company's aka really 'MoFo'?  that's one of the funniest things I've
heard in a long while.

If true, I hope they win.  Sounds like etracks is pretty unscrupulous.
