ATM card and via? Wow, that sounds pretty neat.

resp:116 Sorry, that was via ATM. :)
resp:115 I wasn't really suggesting that grex use it, mainly because of
the latency problem. Security, as it's set up now at Ameritech,
wouldn't be a problem. I'm not even connected to Ameritech, I have an
ATM pvc straight to Alter.net. No one else this side of Alter.net,
without direct, privilaged access to the ATM switches at Ameritech,
would be able to snoop. Even then, I don't think they could. ATM is
point to point, and point to multipoint, as far as I know, requires
support on my end.

Ah yes, uu.net. I know them. They seem awfully friendly to all those
spammers.

UUNet is the world's largest ISP. UUNet has some problems with spammers, but
I doubt you'll find an ISP who doesn't. I get the impression they do cut
people off for spamming, but there are always more where those came from.
I wouldn't call it friendly; maybe just overwhelmed.

I had to sign an agreement stating that if I did anything against their
acceptible use policy (including spamming) I was liable for up to
$25,000 fine. They have far and away the most restrictive anti-spam
policy I've ever seen. Don't know if they enforce it or not, as I
haven't tried spamming anyone, but...

UU.net undoubtedly is huge, but at the same time direct calls to
their people for abuse problems have repeatedly gone unanswered. email
too--I've sent several messages to uu net about Grex problems and I
have never ever gotten a useful reply from them on any issue. Ever.
The same thing for some situations where I was helping others.

All I know is that whenever I see a spam, 3 times out of 4 it has a
uu.net dialup address.
There's at least one guy who's been sending one spam a day (excepting
weekends?) to a mailing list I'm on, for several months now, always from
a uu.net address. I looked through news.admin.net-abuse.email, and one
person has posted at least 6 copies of that very same spam, and says
he's complained about that spam to uu.net six times since 12/15, as
trouble ticket #UU1175567
Here's a partial log of them:

Feb 6 04:06:46 -0800 1Cust12.tnt24.sfo3.da.uu.net [208.255.67.12]
(This is the spam that usually has a subject like "..your web site" and
goes on "We'll Submit Your Site To Over 900 Search Engines...". It used
to be 700.)
I dunno how this guy gets away with it.
Does he actually make money?

I have heard that some mass spammers do actually make money
but they are usually more targeting specific markets. A friend
who is a dog breeder recently started getting dog-specific spam
as an example. She even bought from these spamateers unforunately.

Is there some way to set pine to reject mail from certain email addresses?
(Our laser fax can be set to not receive from certain other fax numbers to
avoid junk faxes, or set to receive only from certain other numbers).
