With all these things that increase the traffic load I'm afraid
that it'll put a crimp in the flow and choke off good email
traffic exchange...then where'll we be?...I think it'll
eventually get so that email will be useless...hope they can get
a grip on it soon.


The tools necessary for getting a grip on it are already widely
available.

The problem is twofold: 1) ISPs and companies which are two lazy or
incompetent to use those tools and 2) a system which does not adequately
prosecute some of these scum using existing laws...not to mention those
of the weak,ineffective and drafted by mainsleaze spammers, CAN-Spam act.

I have maintained for some time now that the SPAMMED, by the act of faking
an address from a real ISP are stealing from the ISP.

Prosecute them as the thieves they are
