for making spamming a stoning offence.

Burning at the stake gets my vote.

And by the way, if you have not tried SpamAssassin, you should. Its made a huge, huge personal difference to me. I get anywhere from 1 - 3 SPAM per hour. My primary business email address is plastered all over the Internet and has been since 1996. Since I put SpamAssassin on-line, SPAM for all my users is way down. But its me that appreciates it the most....

I reject any message that scores more than 7 points, but tag and deliver those that score more than 5 < 7. It seems to be near 100% effective and very little maintenance.

Highly recommended.
