The following is an excerpt from an automated response from > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
[policy chopped - go read original] Yes. I have read that. I have forwarded, with full headers, every spam I've seen on this list in the last week to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have just received a cordial reply from one of AOL's overworked postmasters saying that they appreciate the report and have taken 'appropriate action'. This is the best response, IMHO. Forward every spam you get to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Always include full headers. If AOL receive several reports of the same user, they *will* cancel his account. It quickly becomes quite hard work for the spammers to operate. And any genuine AOL debian enthusiasts are welcome to lurk here until they get the new hard-disk they're waiting for to dump Win95 ;) Jules /----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------\ | Jelibean aka | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 6 Evelyn Rd | | Jules aka | | Richmond, Surrey | | Julian Bean | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TW9 2TF *UK* | +----------------+-------------------------------+---------------------+ | War doesn't demonstrate who's right... just who's left. | | When privacy is outlawed... only the outlaws have privacy. | \----------------------------------------------------------------------/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
