Sunspot on Efica MUD (http://195.92.35.130:3995/) : Email: bm782@torfree.net : WWW: http://www.naples.net/~nfn04143/Nathan/ Hi everyone! The way to kick a spammer is through his ISP. All Internet Providers have an AUP (Acceptable Usage Policy) and chain letters are always right near the top of the list. I report every spam I see in the newsgroups I read. I get so many ISP responses that I don't save them. There were two in my mbox this morning regarding posts to this groups one from Netcom and one from ATT WorldNet. The way to report a spam is to *forward* the entire spam to . Some of the smaller ISP's will bounce an even though that is what the FAQ says to do. Therefore, I cc . Be SURE you forward the entire spam. The headers and message ID's are needed to track the post if there is forgery involved. Here is one response I did save; it is posted here with Lisa Chapa's permission: Date: Mon, 9 Sep 96 13:34:20 -0500 (CDT) From: abuse@airmail.net To: Diane Wenner Subject: Re: SPAM (fwd) deep?question (fwd) At 11:37 AM 9/8/96 -0700, you wrote: >Hello, > >Would you please have the net police cite this guy for DUI on the >information highway? > >TIA, > >Diane Wenner > >---------- Forwarded message ---------- > Dear Diane, I will have systems track this post back and suspend the account holder. What a strange person we have here! Thanks for bringing it to my attention and have a good day. Lisa Chapa Abuse Administrator Internet America [EOF] Pyramid schemes are illegal. Sending cash through the mail is illegal in the USA; in fact, chain letters are illegal in the USA. A person can be charged with a felony for promoting the sending of cash money through the mail. Promoting a pyramid scheme is a felony. This is mail fraud and involves the U.S. Postal Inspectors; ask anyone who has ever dealt with a Federal Court, and he will tell you it was definitely not fun.
