I get my knowledge from sales materials.  Another person's spam  is my text
book.  I  am not as upset as others about AS/400 Spam....  Lord knows, IBM
doesn't talk about the AS/400 much.

So, i am sort of hoping Dave gets too busy to be successful stopping the
spammers.

David,

The easiest way for us to "complain with our budgets" is to publish a list
of known spamming companies. They are easy enough to spot, just post a
couple of messages to the list with an email address that has never been
used anywhere else.

Any direct email that is received to that account is sent from a spammer who
mines this list. A "hall of shame" page on midrange.com would then be in
order.
