Getting back at spam

Hi,

Well here is a very aggressive way of getting back at spam:

However I wonder if Lycos is opening themselves up to legal action by any site they take down?

If something goes wrong at the plant, blame the guy who can't speak English

The E-spams for the fake Rolexes are killing me lately. I don't want a fucking Rolex or a fake one! Ok.. I feel better |rasta| Seems like once I get a majority of the filters setup with mailwasher, out comes something else...

I like the idea, but when they go after a site vs an affiliate who is spamming against the TOS, it seems they could easily end up with legal action like you stated.

Well you know boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like women. You just have to read the manual and press the right button

The spammers redirected the DDOS attack back at Lycos and so they shut it down after about 12hrs...

Aw, Dad, you've done a lot of great things, but you're a very old man, and old people are useless

HAHAHAHAH You cant win for losing!!! I hate spam as much as the next guy, but I think its hillarious when big companies think they have a smart idea to stop the wrong doers and it just backfires.

You have a link about this?

everyone out there should get spambayes or some other bayesian filtering system.

http://spambayes.sourceforge.net

Since installing and training spambayes I no longer see any spam.

With the email address james@fuckyou.com you can imagine I get a lot.

Read it on another board, but I'm sure a search on any news site will give you the skinny...
