you see what I am saying about a web page being a yellow pages ad, right?
Oh yes, I agree. I just don't agree that posting to usenet is asking for spam. I post to usenet to get valid responses to my questions (or to respond myself), not find out what the latest get rich kwik scheme is.
Please, a few megs between cyber-clients? No harm no foul. You get more megs of crap just from this list! I'd bet real money on that!
Very true. *However*, imagine this scenario: I post to Usenet regularly using a work email address. I am allowed by the company to do this as long as the post is work-related. Some spammer snatches my email address and starts to send me email about some "Hot-n-wet" 900 number. The filters on the corporate mail catch this and management thinks that I'm soliciting these ads. I get formally reprimanded for it, which goes on my permanent record. The spammers have just made a major dent in my career and if it continues to happen, I could lose my job. It doesn't matter to Management that I didn't solicit these emails, they just know that its getting in my inbox. What am I supposed to do then?
One Meg Per One Meg. Equal and fair.
How big is an arp paket? This could get interesting the next time someone sends me an attachment. Speaking of which, on a related note, am I allowed to spam-bomb MS Exchange idiots who send RTF attachments with their email. Now *that* could get fun. :) _________ o s b o r n e @ g a t e w a y . g r u m m a n . c o m _________ "You're a security chief. Shouldn't you be out securing something?"
