ACCIDENTAL email

How can my company get six accidental emails? Not even an idiot sends
six emails by mistake.

Spammertechnology labs is more like it.

Be advised that Im following your posts and have your threating
messages to me. If there is an ddos or restraint of trade due to my
ACCIDENTAL email I'll escalate to commerce and FBI.

1. spam a big pile of network operators
2. threaten legals on aforementioned prospective customers
3. profit!!11!!

awesome.

Accidental, he didn't mean to get caught :slight_smile:

Complain to you Congress and House Representatives that CAN-SPAM
is too unbalanced. The current US law lets you get away with single
shots. It should be a offence to send to someone you don't have
consent from. Look at the Australian SPAM act for a more balanced
act.

As long as US law allows companies to harvest addresses and send
to them this sort of thing will continue to happen.

Don't get me wrong, I greatly dislike spam, but next thing you know it
will be against the law to send packets to someone you don't have
consent from...
or hand out pamphlets / talk to someone on the street you don't have
consent from...

I figure the solution here that fits with the best interests of the
people, or really with any internet problem,
is a defensive or cryptographic one; instead of an offensive or
law-based punitive solution.

e.g. Requiring proof-of-work headers for email that doesn't want a
speedy descent into /dev/null

Folks,

This content is great .. for another list. I know you're not happy with
receiving unsolicited mail, and yes, it's likely your addresses were
scraped from either the mailing list itself or various archives that are
kept, but this list is not the best place to discuss this.

Please refrain from these types of discussions on the NANOG mailing list.
We are doing everything in our power to keep the list on-topic and stop
abuse when we see it. We don't take situations like this lightly.

Thank you all in advance and if you have any issue with this, please
contact me or the Communications Committee directly.

Regards,

Randy Epstein

NANOG, i strongly desire to restrain this slimeball idiot's trade.
please tell me if you have any ideas on how to do so.

I have plenty of ideas. Unfortunately, I am not permitted to do those things. I promise it would not be painful, though. I'm not cruel, just methodical.

Be advised that Im following your posts and have your threating
messages to me. If there is an ddos or restraint of trade due to my
ACCIDENTAL email I'll escalate to commerce and FBI.

LOL. you are not only a slimeball (who the ietf and nanog admins are
scraping out), but an idiot.

but do please tell me how i can restrain your trade. would love to
discuss your spam with the DoC and FBI.

Of the many, many subscribers here on the list, I gently point out to the moh-ron in question that there are any number of current and former members of various federal agencies *also* following the list. Oh, dearest slimeball, be careful what you wish for.

Not said in jest.

What the heck, at least it isn't yet another interminable discussion of ebay and amazon spam.

A trick to do on mail (USPS) spammers is take the prepaid mailing envelope they often include and tape it to a brick wrapped in brown paper and drop it off at the post office. They have to pay the shipping. If enough people do it, they go out of business.

In this case, do anything you can to waste his time and resources. Call up and act interested in his services and have them go through their sales pitch as many times as you can. Ask for them to mail you literature. Have them write up proposals and quotes. Then when the last step left is to actually commit to their service tell them you were just pulling their chain, and why. If you eat up enough of their time they end up attending to too few real paying customers and they go out of business.

That's simply false; local postmasters have had the discretion to discard
your bricks for years, AND THEY DO.

But that, on the other hand ...

Yes... Bricks don't work any more. You have to get more creative.

Not mutually exclusive.

I am as amused by antispam efforts as anyone, but can we stay on list topic?
