Sue Spammers

[cykophysh39]

Ok just a quick question.
We all know that SPAM is an issue. And we all get about 5-60 messages a day of this wretched thing. We all know that actually suing the spammers is not really that worth while, as the majority of these a just some 16 year old script kiddie, or just some Chav like scum, living in a tin shack in Nigeria.

However I was wondring if it would be worth suing the company that the mail is supposed to direct you too? All these Viagra pill vending machines?

Or am I just gonna flog a dead new forest pony?

Good luck! They are usually run from dodgy countries so you probably wont have much luck.

Spam? Whats that? Seriously though i havent seen a spam message in the last two weeks!

Unfortunately I was foolish enough to allow my email address of firstname@lastname.com to appear on the web, in somewhat earlier years before spam was common, and indeed before google existed to file it forever (thought there was Deja News). It has got on at least one list and will never get off. Result: about 100 spam a day, to the one email address that I'd prefer to use.

There are solutions that can filter out your spam. Without it i would too get over 100 spam a day!

Indeed. I'm a big fan of gmail just for its spam filtering alone.

Cactus is good for local filtering (and free).. I also forward everything that hits my mail server to a gmail account for filtered webmail. Works for me!
