"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" is an autoresponder >that doesn't belong to me. Why shouldn't it apply to email as it does in other areas like direct mail, and faxes? Sending junk mail with falsified information is a violation of FTC codes, and a class 1 misdemeanor in most states. Sending junk mail with fraudulent offers, and falsified contact or identity information is a felony. I think the same should apply to email. If you signed up for a dial up account with false contact information, and used a stolen or falsified charge card, you'd be in trouble when they tracked you down. Why should spammers be allowed to do the very same. I've discovered DOMAIN names that were registered with false ID and Charge Cards, but are still in operation. Why can't Network Solutions shut them down? Questions that need answers. :-) Fred _______________________________________________ SpamCop-Help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.spamcop.net/mailman/listinfo/spamcop-help
