I like MailWiper.com's marketingese from its spamvertised website: >Are you getting frustrated with a flood of unwanted offensive emails that >you never asked for being sent to your private email address? This is >referred to as junk e-mail, Spam, unsolicited e-mail etc... The problem is >that it's a huge waste of your time, it's an invasion of your privacy, and >worse, some junk mail is plain disgusting and ugly.

Known spammer; see, for example: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&safe=off&q=mailwiper&btnG=Google+Search&meta=group%3Dnews.admin.net-abuse.email These are just spammers trying to take advantage of the situation to make a fast buck. (And they're not the only ones.) There are much better -- and non-spamvertized -- pieces of software out there like bogofilter, SpamAssassin, and SpamBouncer. ---Rsk Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 15:49:03 +0530 From: Suresh Ramasubramanian <sureshat_private> To: Declan McCullagh <declanat_private> Subject: Re: FC: Is anti-spam service MailWiper.com resorting to... spamming?
