Spammy McSpamster: My SPam Dilema

I got busted by AOL when I first signed up with them a year ago. I was setting up my email account and sent myself 500 test emails by accident. They shut me down instantly. Woops! So I rang up the customer helpline and got it sorted out, and an hour after being accused of being a spam mastermind, everything was back to normal. It was interesting to note a particular article in the reader about junk email and spam laws. Authentication seems to be the way of the future. In terms of new spamming laws, check out www.caube.org.au/. Apparently as of the 10th of April 2004 it was "...illegal to send even one unsolicited commercial email..."(Coalition Against Unsolicited Bulk Email www.caube.org.au/ accessed 16/3/2006). However even after said date, I have been receiving more spam e-mail than I know what to do with. Hotmail accounts are particularly vulnerable (only from personal expierience) to unsolicited emails. So much so that I rarely ever check mine because I'm sick of seeing "Make your 'manly bit' larger... All natural!". Hotmail and other email accounts that are bombarded with spam, in my opinion, will probably be abandoned unless something is done to minimise the amount of 'junk' we receive. But, i'm getting off the soap box now 'cause I gotta go to work. Fare thee well
