Re: candy, hotmail, spams, etc

[Joni J Rathbun <jrathbun@orednet.org>]

It's satisfying somehow for most of us to hear that hotmail closed
the account. But chances are "candy" had no intention of using
that acct after the initial spam. Spammers like that open and
close accounts by the minute to send off their junk mail. Closing
the account will have had little to no impact on the spammer
or on the problem. I'm not sure the solution, but just complaining
to hotmail really isn't going to do much to change things... unless
they respond by not allowing ppl to sign up for email accounts
anonymously... And that, in part, defeats their purpose...
