I realize that spammers seem pretty relentless, but that is hardly a reason for us to thrown in the towel and let them walk all over us. If SPF forces them to buy throw away domains, that is awesome. That forces them to spend more money than they spent so far by forging from addresses in existing domains. That is a step in the right direction if you ask me. The really low rent spammers will quit at that point, because they were finally forced to buy something in order to peddle their trash. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
