I believe that it's not an offence for someone in the UK to send SPAM? Now, there's a fucking company who refuse to stop sending me the fucking stuff and I'm fucking sick to death of it. So, who do I report these cunts to? -- Veggie Dave UKRMHRC#2 BOTAFOF#08 IQ 18 FILMS http://www.iq18films.com Extreme Racing http://www.veggie-dave.co.uk Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Veggie Dave amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom: That won't do any good. What you actually need to do is shove a broken swingarm up their arse. "It's the only language they understand".
*ding* I've used 'em for years and pay an annual subscription so I don't actually have to receive any spam in my mailbox. This is why I use my email address unprotected on usenet without having to deal with all the email harvesting bawts. Once a day I've elected to receive my Held Mail Report via email which I scan briefly to make sure nothing I want to read has been blocked (only happened a couple of times) and then I just click "report all" and it does its stuff.
Veggie Dave wrote It may be under euro rules, depending on the circumstances but otherwise no, not at all. Name and shame. A Spamcop bought and paid for account, or similar. It don't stop them straight away but it gives you a handy set of good quality tools and if you use them properly it slowly fucks up the spammers up a treat. Dunno but if they are the same lot what send me spam I am well up for a free and frank exchange of views. Trouble is most of the shite I get is from China, a country well noted for small dicks judging by the fuss they all seem to make over it.
Either the British information comissioner, who would order them to stop, or you could take it to courts as a civil action. Here's some background reading. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/06/spam_court_media_logistics/
BGN wrote I finally signed with them late last year after two years of looking for the right tool set. I like to report my spam fresh and as I spend a lot of time sitting here I do it on the fly as it were.
Ta everyone. Oh, and it is a British company. -- Veggie Dave UKRMHRC#2 BOTAFOF#08 IQ 18 FILMS http://www.iq18films.com Extreme Racing http://www.veggie-dave.co.uk Toxic Shock Syndrome Gets More Girls Than Me
No. They're just a filtering and detection service, nothing legal. Veggie wants the Office of the Information Commissioner http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/eventual.aspx?id=5801
Ultimately though it's not in their business interest to rid the internet of spam entirely. If that happened, people would no longer require their services.
It is an offence. I did know, but the HD I kept the info on has gone down. This particular one might be revived by removing it and giving it a good thrashing - something's getting sticky inside. HD5 - it just goes click-click, and prevents the box from booting. If I get it going again I'll lecher know.
That's the one... If people started taking them to court for £300 a go, with luck, they'd stop.... in this country.
