The nerve of some people (spammers)

[golfcart]

I am just speechless over this one. I recieved a spam yesterday asking me if I was "tired of junk mail?". I decided to inquire about it and here is the conversation:

First: Um

Last: No

Question: Other?

Comments: Does your software block the spam I recieved about your software?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Actually, yes, it will! You simply Black List us and we will not show in
your Inbox.

Ironic, isn't it?

Thanks,

I just can't believe these clowns. They actually think it's funny. Mods, if you want me to remove the domain, just let me know

At least they are honest.....

At least they replied

besides what good does blacklisting an email address do? They get another... and you can't exactly blacklist yahoo.com or aol.com which is where a large percentage of the spam comes from.

Yeah I actually went to thier website manually so I didn't alert them of a valid address. I used the contact form on their site and had them send the reply to an adress that I can permanently forward to null with one click.

Hopefully that will be illegal soon in the E.U.
I think it's already illegal in Finland, but there's not much to do about foreign spammers.

ISP's should introcude their own blacklist, which explicitly refuses to carry out messages from selected domains.
