Spamming Web Hosts make me want to KILL!!

[felix220]

I would like to form an illegal cooperative of DC's and major web hosts who receive spam from other MORON web hosts about upgrading to their fabulous $4 a month all singing, all dancing, virtual hosting accounts.. and this cooperative would target and block everyone of these idiots from our routes and networks where possible..

I hate spam .. but I am driven to a rage when I get spam like this addressed to every damn email address I have....

Anyone think I need sedation, or does it annoy other hosts also..?

I mean I know I need sedation, but .. ah well I think I might go over the the 'other' forum and see if I can get banned for abuse..

Of course that is a source of pride to some in the SPEWS camp.

Just to the newgroup folk, not on the list itself.

What is serverbeach for? To launch a report on email spamming?

[Chicken]

They must be the provider of the company who sent the email (in this case).

[James]

Impressive! But how do you find out who the hosting provider is?

[interactive]

You look at the email's headers. It tells what server it came from, along with a lot with the message type and such.

Thanks!

The "?id=xxxxxxxxx" at the end of the url makes me wonder whether this could just be an affiliate of the web host in question...
