In article <50p62g$ld8@hermes.dciem.dnd.ca>, king@hermes.dciem.dnd.ca says... >>Now there is an inteligent answer to the problem. You are sending tons of >>garbage to root and postmasters tying up resources on some anonymous server >>in the process. > >You have a better idea? These junk e-mails are rapidly becoming moe than a >simple annoyance. Once they start getting in my way, I will deal with them >in whatever manner I deem appropriate. Once a few offending servers get >shut down, some notice will be taken. Perpetuating the problem of junk email by re-emailing garbage is not the answer. Education of how wrong their actions are is probably a more appropriate response. Besides, how would the taxpayers feel about you wasting their money and resources blasting away at another service provider from your government account. Most of the time the offender is the client of the ISP, not the ISP. To punish the ISP and 'shut down their servers' is not appropriate behavior on the Net anymore than junk email is.
