>So say no to bouncing them. HA! NO WAY! True, you have to use your brains, but I'll bounce any junk I didn't ask for! Yes, I DO see the occasional list member from here and other lists registered as blacklisted. But as I said, I use my brains and remove them from it on my end. So only the TRUE spammers get nailed.

The email addresses on the spam are usually not valid or someone else's. It seems quite a few people have been the victim of this, not only are they getting angry emails to stop spamming, but they also get all the bounces too. One guy said it was so bad that his server about crashed. So say no to bouncing them. Cordially, Steven Fredette President http://www.prowebsites.net Indianapolis, Indiana.
