Another one down - for the moment.
How can one organisation profit from being 10% of all muck pushed: do they only 'sell' the same 'product'?

Spam levels have dropped, Rowley said. LastLine’s action “will almost certainly have a positive effect for two to three weeks,”
If it means anything, I woke up this morning to an empty spam queue. First time that's happened in quite a while. But yeah, I know .. it won't last.

Yeah, I have to say that I think spam reporting works. Virtually all of the spam that I receive is from hard core pros, and it is all the same type, watches, drugs, and sex. These are easily picked off by Purify's filtering. Funny story, I received a spam email a few weeks ago, reported it, and the spammer contacted me asking if I could tell him how to get his email reconnected!

Today, we have been unable to send out our sponsored newsletter.
We have never had the problem before. Please tell me if you did
something that would affect us.
I am trying to be as civil in my communication with you as possible. I
have patiently explained to you that we are a small business in a
difficult industry and time. We have no bad intentions. As it happens, I
founded our company 25 years ago in a small rural town to participate in
a World Peace project.
I simply can't afford the cost of this distraction or to go back on my
promise to our sponsor.
If you did do something, please tell me what, so as not to waste any
more of our precious and limited resources researching the problem. If
you can help undo it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Jeff,
The words 'take' and 'biscuit' come to mind!
As do 'now' 'seen' and 'all'.
Did you reply?

Ha ha! Yes. I was as polite as I could be, and told him to reap the whirlwind.
