Message-ID: <20030513123707.GD14399@eiv.com> From: smcmahon at eiv.com (Shawn McMahon) Subject: About spamb strange characters On Tue, May 13, 2003 at 08:17:31AM +0200, Nicolas Villatte said: > > <http://gethelpu.com/Auto/index.htm> .

The random characters are to prevent Razor signatures from working. The URL is a standard "enter your address here to get removed from our lists (wink wink nudge nudge)" form. Put your address in that form, and you'll be added to some big spam lists no doubt. I wish the Chinese would use their country-wide firewall to block all outbound traffic on port 25. Either that, or make spamming punishable by death. What's the point in having a Stalinist dictatorship if you don't use it to punish spammers? :-) -- Shawn McMahon | Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, EIV Consulting | that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any UNIX and Linux | hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure http://www.eiv.com| the survival and the success of liberty. - JFK -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
