Not to jump too hard, but a whole lot of people agreed that spam was not usually a topic of interest on NANOG. So if you won't post spam to Nanog, I won't point out how flawed the anti-spam methods are, nor will I be tempted to explain why anti-spam methods eventually backfire on network operators. --Dean At 10:28 PM 1/10/1999 -0500, Alan Spicer wrote: >Has anyone else received email similar to this?
