Dear Sys Admin,
Could you please deal with the appended unsolicited commercial email (UCE)
Thanks. Keep in mind that:
- Spammers steal at least $1000 from the net community every time they spam.
á (1c/recipient, 100000 recipients, other costs ignored)
- Theft doesn't scale.á The numbers show that any solution that legitimizes
á opt out can't work.á (tagging, making forgery illegal, `remove lists'
etc.)
á <http://kryten.eng.monash.edu.au/articles/ube_numbers.txt>
- Already the news system is 70% spam+cancels and the email system is
á 40% spam+complaints.
- Spam will always be junk because there is no financial incentive to
target. The whole point is big numbers, small response, others pay.
- Are you being forged?á Don't allow the spammer to give your company a bad
á name and to waste your time with the resulting complaints.

- Being relayed through? Configure your mail servers to stop relaying.

Many thanks for all your efforts,
