[linux-audio-dev] OT: spam

[Joern Nettingsmeier]

hi *!

after getting about 20 spam/day to linux-audio* from a single taiwanese 
domain, i filed a complaint with their postmaster and abuse addresses.

i thought i'd share this laugh with you:

FUCKWITS! THIS IS THE FRIGGIN POSTMASTER ADDRESS! sigh. if taiwan 
doesn't do something about their email legislation, they will find the 
entire country in a mail blackhole soon.

why is every moron allowed to run an internet server just so, and 
driving a car takes a license ?

to whom this may concern,

i'm the mailing list administrator for the linux-audio-* lists=20
(http://linuxaudiodev.org).

this is to let you know that your domain has by far been the greatest=20
nuisance in terms of unsolicited email (spam) to our lists over last week=
s.

the mail has been coming in from bogus addresses of the form
[a-z]{3}linu[sx]@ms[0-9]{2}.hinet.net.
below i have included the headers of one spam message for your reference.=


since it is putting a significant load on our servers and consumes a lot =

of work time, i urgently request that you stop this practice immediately.=


sincerely,

j=F6rn nettingsmeier
