Isn't spam fun?

The ones that do this mass mailing to ISP addy's are the worst. Haven't even bothered to collect email addy's they just figure there will be a few live ones for every thousand or so dud ones.

That's a mess of net bandwidth being abused, right there!

Hopefully some control of these mass spammers will come through ISP's tightening up mail servers. Hopefully.

Cheers
Mick
