Anyone on the list know of a good, heavy-handed collection agency that would like to take this when it tops, say, $500?
Why not just filter the shit? It's not like they're switching addresses or anything. All mail from that address just goes straight to my trash unread...

Can't filter until the traffic is delivered to the local system here. By that time, I've already paid for its delivery. Wallace and CyberPromo are costing me real, measurable money, and I want it stopped. Besides, it will be a valuable precedent if I can collect (or even obtain a judgement). This is right in line with the junk fax law, which recognized that junk faxes consume the receiver's resources without permission or compensation. If filtering is to be done, it's CyberPromo's responsibility to filter their outgoing traffic. I sent 3 warnings to the designated address (wallace@cyberpromo.com) and provided a simple list of 2 domains to block. Now I'm sending invoices. - -- Roy M.

I'd like to join you on this. I have sent email to wallace@asswipespamnet already as well as left them voice mail for every message they sent, they will be charged $500 per message and the next one I receive constitutes acceptance. I've since then recieved about 4-5 more, which means they owe me $2000 or thereabouts. :) So what steps do we need in putting some teeth into this? ============================================================================= + ^ + | Ray Arachelian |FL| KAOS KERAUNOS KYBERNETOS |==/|\== \|/ |sunder@brainlink.com|UL|__Nothing_is_true,_all_is_permitted!_|=/\|/\= <--+-->| ------------------ |CG|What part of 'Congress shall make no |=\/|\/= /|\ | "A toast to Odin, |KA| law abridging the freedom of speech'|==\|/== + v + | God of pretzles!" |AK| do you not understand? |======= ===================http://www.brainlink.COM/~sunder/========================= ActiveX!

Hrmm.. as far as I know verbal agreement (i.e. verbal contract in the future tense -- "I will charge you") is only valid up to $500 TOTAL. but as long as thats the total, you'll probably piss them off enough anyway. ;) --Deviant When we write programs that "learn", it turns out we do and they don't.
