"This may not seem like much, but it's still a complete waste of resources."
So is this thread... ;-) Really, though, the spam problem as a WHOLE is a resource waster. On top of the 100+ spam messages I get a day, getting these two IF I post a message really isn't wasting that much resource. I mean, really, I don't read all of the posts from this list, either, but the mail server still has to process them all. The only reasonable way to solve this is for the admins to delete the addresses. Maybe if they got as many emails as this thread has produced, perhaps they would be prompted to do something about it. Oh, look, two more to delete. (I knew the risk, believe me...) ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin Patrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 01, 2004 1:43 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Spammers > John Nichel wrote: > > > Steve Douville wrote: > > > >> So, as I hit the send button, I know I'll have 3 messages to delete in > >> a few > >> seconds.
