Now that I see another fact for this matter, I dont think that it is such a
good idea.  Sure If there was no email account named abuse@ihug.co.nz then
it would be harmless enough to stop spam, and any mail that was sent to the
address would just disappear into a black hole,
but because this is an active email address, some poor person is going to
get their inbox crammed fulla spam.  And I wouldn't wish that upon anybody
(unless they are newbies who enjoy having a full mailbox every time).  And
the fact that it is an account used to contact Ihug about abusive practices
by other internet users is horrible.
What if a pile of spam was mixed with genuine complaints, and through
deleting all the unwanted spam, some poor persons complaint was
inadvertantly deleted.  Ihug would no doubt be after blood, and eventually
find the purpetrator.

Well, that's my 1000 Lira.
