> guess some people never learn I guess they learn it from your reply. I mean the email address. It is a good policy to not respond to spams, since they confirm your availability through your reply. I don't even think they care about your negative responses. Their idea is simple, Of the thousands of people whom they spam (at no coast or negligible) if 10 people buy their product they are happy. Actually I learned it the hard way. My domain global.com is an attractive one among spammers. They use our domain name or ones which looks similar to it to send spams. And I have to take care of all complaints. One day an angry guy thinking we sent him the spam flooded our mail server with 60,000 mails from a program. Good luck guys. --Gopu Dan Nelson wrote: > > In the last episode (Jun 05), info@xlink.com said: > > Total PC-to-UNIX integration software for the Windows > > Platforms: > > - NFS Client/Server > > - X-Windows > > - LPD/LPR > > - Terminal Emulation > > - All windows platforms > > - and more! > > I got one of these spams delivered directly to my emailbox on May 27th. > I responded with a letter that although their product just MIGHT have > been exactly what I'm looking for, I make it a policy to never to > business with email spammers. > > I CC'd the message to their sales address and their upstream provider, > verio.net.
