SPAM

[Jerry Hunt]

There have been some postings recently about spamming. If you've got
some spare time, here's a couple of websites (and this ain't spam) about
spam and what you can do about it.

The second one, Spam Tools, lists some tools for tracking down spammers,
particularly the first one, Sam Spade. Sam Spade has a downloadable
freeware for tracking spammers and also has an on-line utility.

Bottom line is once you track a spammer down, about all you can do is
report them to their ISP and request that the service provider inforce
their Acceptable Use Policy.

To reiterate what some have responded, NEVER respond to spam, the part
where it says to have your name removed...
