An interesting idea, but I have recently seen an increase in companys that are sending spam advertising websites/ip addresses of _other_ companies without approval... this means that currently any filters like SpamCop will chase up the owners of that IP space, and with any legalities in place, the "long arm of the law" could fall on the wrong people... regards, -mvh. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of David Charlap Sent: Thursday, August 10, 2000 6:44 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: surge in spam email (fwd) With a proper set of laws on the books, law enforcement could simply read the content of the spam to get a phone number, address or PO box, and prosecute whoever owns it. The fact that they abused a foreign server in the process shouldn't change anything. -- David
