I don't want, either, to get into the ethics of spam or carrier responsibilities. Traffic and congestion issues, however, are another matter. I received yet another cyberpromo spam this morning, that contains a specific threat of retaliatory mailbombing -- IF CYBERPROMO'S _SOFTWARE_ decides a response is a flame.
Think about it if this cyberpromo threat is real. What if several people respond with flames? What is the potential for congestion if this escalates?
What if Cyberpromo sells this software to other spammers? What if the spammers are all on a mailing list sharing their techniques? What if iq-internet.com is running a similar mail robot and that is causing the flood that is hitting world.std.com?
