Re: Spams

[Glenn Barry <glenn@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is usually no point in replying to the spam as the return addresses re-route
to another server. When you do you merely confirm your existence and as a result
receive more spam.

You can view the page source and write to postmaster, spam and abuse at the
address of the originating message and ask the postmaster to stop their client
from sending unsolicited e-mail. View page source and look at the message I.D. it
will be a long string of numbers @spam.net or so. If it has @213.155.87.12 instead
for example instead of a server name you can find that server by typing those
numbers into your browser and seeing where you end up. Address your message to the
postmaster, spam and  abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx

There are spam killing progs available, you just need to look for them.
