Re: [Declude.JunkMail] Interesting spam footer

[Dave Doherty]

OK, so I guess the point is the recipient has to prove that the message is spam? Sounds like "blame the victim"... And maybe the recipient has to buy what's being offered to avoid running afoul of the "LOSS OF INCOME" claim.   And what was being advertised?  Anything useful to the recipient?   Did this come from a source in the US? Interesting "English" there is the lower-case sentence... Mike, my guess is there's no court with jursidiction. But if it WERE prosecuted in the US, I would love to attend the trial!   -Dave Doherty  Skywaves, Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: Darin Cox To: IMail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com ; Declude.JunkMail@declude.com Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2005 7:38 PM Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] Interesting spam footer Thought this was interesting... a spammer trying to use fear of prosecution to stop people from reporting their email as spam.   The spam was sent to a postmaster address never used for outgoing mail...   Darin.   ========================================= IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS COMMERCIAL MESSAGE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CAN-SPAM ACT OF 2003 This is one of a number of commercial email messages that you, or someone using your computer, agreed to receive this message WARNING!!!
