Spam Off! If you are interested in knowing what you can do about annoying "spam" or UCE (unsolicited commercial email) then this page is for you. #1 Rule: DON'T EVER respond to a spammer's "to be removed, email..." that is just how slime ball spammers confirm you're address is a functional one and you will only receive more UCE as the spammer shares your now-confirmed good address with other bottomfeeders. Never hit "reply" to a spammer, if they have any chops to speak of, the address/ports will be forged. #2 Rule: Learn how to interpret internet headers to track them down, or sign up with SpamCop and let them do the work. #3 Rule: Don't put you're email address on your website, spammers have software that goes out and harvests email address from personal sites (my address on the home page is a SpamCop address so that's different than a home address). #4 Rule: Don't be fooled by these mutants quoting "Bill 1618, Title 3, Section 301" I have yet to see any spam that follows Section 301 correctly....why?....obvious, because they would be traceable and their deception would come to an end. Oh yea, and besides, 1618 isn't even law..."Status: Passed Senate, died in conference, (which means the bill is not law, despite what spammer 'disclaimers' say)." Never trust a spammer, just keep reporting them. Educational and FAQ. Fight
