I've got a list that gets (mostly) automatically
generated to blackhole cyberpromo mail by scanning the root
server sone files (available for ftp at ftp.rs.internic.net:/domain/)

I do this on my personal machines, which is very nice, I don't
get their spam.. I get lots of other stuff (that's what you get for being
on the internet for "forever" in internet terms (ok, a few years, but hey.. ;),
your e-mail addresses are all around.. I have gotten spam sent to addresses
I haven't used in 3-4 years..

This discussion does not belong here, and I know I'm only contributing
to it. I can create a spam-discuss list for folks that are interested
about discussing these issues.
