regarding this paper; it's sent out by an autoresponder. is it illegal to make excessive use of the autoresponder? this would be a type of denial of service attack.
i'm wondering if i set up a cron job to request a copy every 5 or 10 minutes and just send it to /dev/nul, could i get in more trouble than say, someone just telling me to cut it out?
Regardless of the legal merits, this would be called "being an asshole." The guy who runs mailback.com is just another common carrier. - -rich http://www-leland.stanford.edu/~llurch/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBMRfFJI3DXUbM57SdAQFXwQQAn1IQKS6uU2MVWZbePCG1D19lmVKfBzry L9rxdcEXCoHDpSlyqdIiv7b2SJ2PzRj8aB9p2sA1F8lyaiO4xj+21YJE/RBQ6vi7 J/VwcO6ZCvJ8Wqq6SHU+HqeuCRqV2SR/WWZtdryZGRCOeT2zVeawOlu9qxMygcgF bsWXUea2A/k= =/aC3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
