I hope everyone on the jury has an email account. Valid laws or not, making $750,000/mo off of spam deserves some time in the slammer.

I could understand if a person was legitimately making $750/month, but there's only a few professions where that can be done legally. Spam and spyware should be made felonies, in my opinion, punishable by at least 5-10 years.

Being as something like 2/3 of all email out there is spam right now, can you imagine the bandwidth/router load overhead that'll be freed by putting and end to all this crap? Jail and fines, dial-up only for the rest of your life, no question.

2/3? Really? But I guess it kind of makes sense. My dad gets like 8-10 unsolicited emails a day. I'm lucky. I get very little. He thinks it has something to do with how common his name is. But the only difference between his address and mine is that his has a dot and mine has a dash.

Yeah, I get a decent bit, but eventually when I run my own mailserver, I'll just filter it somewhere within the MTA, hehe  And, my estimate may have been a bit low: "Industry estimates say the percentage of all email flowing along the Internet that is junk is from 60 to 80 percent.

60 to 80... that's incredible.

That's it? Man, for me like 99/100 of mail is spam. If it weren't for spam filters, I'd be screwed.  (note that the 4 in the inbox just slipped by the filter). |

I still can't believe you get as much spam as you do. I'd just change my email address if I were you.

I think Nathan likes the spam. From time to time, I'll get an IM from him with some bizarro email subject in it. Every time, it's like "wtf mate"
