Using SpamAssassin and friends seems to have
chopped the amount of SPAM I see somewhat. Still a lot of
it gets through anyway. The spammers just get more and more
clever sliding the stuff past the filters.
I've even given some thought to how I could write an
accounting script to calculate the amount of CPU time that
is spent by my mail server processing it and billing the
spammers for their share of what it costs to filter the
crap out. When they refuse to pay take them to small claims
court (keep the $$ amount below US$5000) and sue them.
If they still don't pay take a lien out on their assets
starting with any computers they use to send the stuff.
Probably wouldn't work out in real life but hey... it's
a thought....

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link or
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
