What happened to good ol' fashioned explosives????? Would be one
less spammer to go....(ohh, well...too much BOFH here. But it's
hella annoying with SPAM.)
Another thing to do - and in spite of some pissed emails from
postmasters I still do it - is to send to postmaster@ all
domains in the header (through which the mail has been relayed
and otherwise). In the hope, that eventually they get so annoyed
that they remove the user or disable relaying from just "any"
machine.
I beleive that it is either that or the explosives...or an
AK47...
