Wargasm Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 I must say...Its About Time. Even with the ISP's filters, message rules, etc... I still recieve over 90% spam emails at all address's....except ntac. Its nice to see their finally doing something about it. I did wonder what the giberish was about, but I figured it was a way to get thru some of the spam filters. Now if they can find a way to stop the other issue of the text being part of an image, so the filters dont see it as text. I am a little surprised that the first spammer convicted is from Buffalo, and the charges that sent him to jail weren't about spamming, more about the methods he used to enable the spamming. Question is how much of the illegal money he recieved will be offset by the $16mill judgment by Earthlink. Will he be left with millions? :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
