Re: Fuck Cyberpromo

It seems to me that every time I send a message to cypherpunks, I get a 10k message entitled "RESPONSE FROM CYBERPROMO" from "abusebot@savetrees.com (Mail AutoResponder)" . [...] I would expect that if everyone on this list who gets one of these things -- which I suspect is everyone who posts here lately -- turned right around and sent it on to this wallace@cyberpromo.com address, those, er, caprophageous cretins, (thanks, DCF; don't sue me for copyright violations ;-)) would get the hint in a hurry.
I'm starting with the one I have, and, of course, I'll also do it for the message I get from sending *this* posting.
Cheers, Bob Hettinga
Those of us who occasionally dip into that Slough of Despond known as news.admin.net-abuse.misc are *very* familiar with Mr. Wallace. Check out, for example, news:// 32617de2.18341458@news.onramp.net, where he is ignoring a court order to stop spamming. Bouncing mail back to him may be emotionally satisfying, but I suspect he filters it. He also has a skin as thick as a rhino's.

Not that I would do it, but SYN flooding could very well provide an adequate solution to Mr. Wallace. Tim

SYN flods do nothing to stop *outgoing* connections, BTW, so this would not directly stop spamming. It wouldn't be that hard to set up a bunch of mail reception sites seperate from the targeted site, then read mail/orders from them.
