Actually Litehouse some legislators did take the hint,in some states there are now restrictions on how much advertisement/junk mail can be delivered to people.This is in response to landfills overflowing and trying to recycle paper to help the environment...as well as people complaining about the junk mail lol.

The trick here is to think that way...find a way to legally force legislators to create new laws that prevent spam from being sent in the first place or at least restrict it.

One way would be to require all online advertisers to submit their IP addys to a legitimate service or government bureau...then a list of approved senders can be created and sent to ISP's to all nations participating in this.Thus,if these people are not an approved sender they're email will be auto deleted by your ISP because its not on their approved list.Of course there may be problems here as well,but it is a new direction to pursue...could also require server to give each site on their server a unique id so that only the guilty party could be targetted by anti spam services.

Its what I mean,targetting the innocent with the guilty is wrong and the current set up at spamcop does violate the law in this regard being that spam in the first place is not illegal.The objective again here is to pursue new possibilities to stay ahead of the spammers because I assure you,they are always looking for new ways to get around any effort to stop them.Spamcop has employed this system for some time now and any two year old could have figured out to do what they're doing as an answer...they have a bad system,they don't employ anyone with foresight to find new and better ways to combat spam~and they don't care who gets hurt by what they're doing!! And Eliza,if you hadn't noticed,I am pissed off at the spammers...I'm also pissed off about how spamcop conducts itself and you don't seem to care about how abusive that process is and you won't until a hospital that sends out its own online advertisement gets blacklisted and someone dies as a result.
