"The main issue is that spammers are stealing from recipients and carriers so they can make a shady buck" "Spam is the closest thing that I know of to a purely evil result specifically made possible by the Internet. Let's use the Internet to stop it." Quotes from the John S.Quarterman article, "Spam Considered Harmful" Click here to view article in it's entirety.

There are programs available on the internet for tracking spam origin. I recommend Sam Spade. Learning the program, reading headers, and tracking spam in general does have somewhat of a learning curve. And of course one never comes close to learning it all. Some people feel that just deleting posts is the best way to deal with spam. Some people feel thats not enough. If you are in the latter group, visit the Sam Spade Web site where you can download this great free program .
