Spammer Busted

The company I work for gets over 20K spam emails a month and it's increasing around 10% a month. It's a lot more than annoying its costing us a lot of money to filter out these emails.

Last December my personal domain was getting 70,000 an hour, or about 30M/month. My ISP became insistent I use a different method of filtering so that the messages were dropped immediately. Of the few addresses I still accept mail for, a couple have to be whitelisted, the ones I want to give people to use. Downside is I don't know what messages my domain is not getting now.

No injuries? What bullshit.

Question: Should the ACLU defend his right to free speech?

Quote

Verizon Communications Inc. sued him in 2001, saying he shut down its networks with millions of e-mail solicitations. He settled, promising not to send spam on its networks.

No.

Suppose he claims their networks are public access much the way MCI took on AT&T in the 70's and he has the right to use them? After all, they are just access to the internet which was built with tax dollars.

Your comment isn't 100% accurate. But, I fail to see how anyone can control whose network your internet traffic is sent on. There are only a few primary (Tier 1) backbones to "the internet": AT&T (now SBC), Sprint, Genuity (Level 3), UUNet (MCI then WorldCom, now Verizon) and Cable & Wireless. It is virtually impossible to not have internet traffic "touch" one of these networks in some fashion.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Where has his right to free speech been infringed? He has no right to fraudulently misprepresent himself, which appears to be his modus operandi.

So you tried the penis enlarger and know it doesn't work?

From your own post, which apparently you didn't bother to read:

"A federal law that took effect last year bans use of misleading subject lines and the sending of commercial e-mail messages that appear to be from friends. It also bans use of multiple e-mail addresses or domain names to hide senders' identities".

He's just a con-artist in a new disguise. Does the 1st Amendment protect con-artists? I think not.

Answer the damned question!

I appreciate your interest, but I really don't think you're my type.

Ralsky again.

I think the whole Internet community should set up a PayPal account to raise the funds to have a contract put out on his life.

Spam costs the average small business of 100 employees with email an average of $20,000 per year.

Well less then 20k for a year. I work with some Fortune 500 companies and for Antispam they are spending 50k-100k a year. Granted thats getting them more then just spam, but filtering is one things their $ goes towards.
