Spam export from the US is getting more and more "interesting". If this
stuff is legal, then maybe the crypt stuff will be too, soon.

I wonder, if I'd send the lady sincere premature condoleances, would that
still be legal ?

And on and on, and an address in Florida. I don't want to get any more
things like this, I do not, did not and never will, try, grow, smell,
smoke or otherwise be interested in horticulture or other substances, and
I feel that this is a direct insult. I want to do something about it. One
direct thing, that relates to Linux, is a list of blacklisted hosts, that
originate spam, and instructions on how to set up a Linux mailer to bounce
them automatically (or delete them).

The fact that one has a public mailbox, is not an invitation for any
bastard to fill it with junk you pay for in your own money. And unlike L
users, we can do something about its not reaching us.

I want to send a copy of this to the police. Has anyone got the address of
the police online ? Please post it to this group.

thanks,
