Tarpon Springs, FL | spam spams spam At work we recieve about 1 million emails every day, out of those about 900000 is spam according to stats on our mail server.
I wonder who in the world even reads spam and even worse buys anything from it... How stupid does one have to be? |

Clearly most Americans are extraordinarily stupid, gullible, and do not get it.
Verizon blocks a ton of SPAM for me and the very few that do get though are caught by my email client rules. So to all you out there paying SPAMMERS, you are not getting too me.
Same goes for the domains I operate. You are not getting to us.

My current Sendmail setup issues REJECTs to 98.5% of all spam that is sent its way... I've had only two "false positives" in the four years I've been set up the way I am now.
Next step, if to have a little "fun", and write a milter that TARPITS a spamming machine whilst it's still connected.
Since most "Hormel-esque" email today is sent from "zombies", an automated or semi-auto "spam in progress" notifier (to the uplevel ISP) could make it an "Instant death upon spamming me" deal, if I could tie up the sending box long enough...

Who is this "HE" you speak of? NOYB  referred to "a politician," not anyone, male or female, in particular.

There comes a point in your life when you get tired of fixing everything and wiping everyone's ass. But it’s not giving up. It’s realizing that you don’t need certain people and the bullshit and drama they bring to your life. |

Not really -- your plan is based on the upstream ISP actually giving a damn about zombie machines. Ever tried to contact someone at Comcast or another large ISP's abuse desk? Good luck.
Also, lots of spam bots don't follow RFCs and won't bother retrying an address that fails for any reason, hard or soft. Greylisting has addressed this pretty well, kind of. |
