This has already been discussed with the FBI, and with attorneys. We are right hands down. The difficulty is doing the collections (actually, finding assets that can be seized) from people who don't want to pay. But I have insurance industry contacts (the insurance industry really knows how to find peoples assets) and some collection agencies willing to take the task.

You can be right all you want. But how much money are you going to get out of these people? Forget about the fact that you have no legal contract with them, direct or implied. You're trying to get money out of people who can't even afford to pay for legitimate advertising, and have to resort to illegal free advertising. You're going to collect, at most, a broken down trailer home. Last time I checked, there is a minimum of 2-3 years worth of waiting involved in getting an FBI investigation into bullshit computer crimes like this. You could stop the problem in a lot less than 2-3 years if you had any kind of clue as to what you're doing. Why don't you stop helping the spammers to ruin the Internet by being an open relay... Read "System Administration for Dummies", and learn how to run a mail server? The bottom line is, you're ignorance is causing the problem, not the spammers. _.,+=~`^"-.,_.,+=~`^"-*.,_.,+=~'`^"-.,_.,+=~`^"-.,_.,+=~`^"-.,_.,+=~`^"-., Jesse Schachter .,.
