administrivia: RD spam followup

[Richard Welty <rwelty@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i'm worried about the amount of traffic this is contributing to the digest,
so no more followups unless something important happens.

RD's hosting provider has given them a stiff lecture, and indicated that if
they don't repent of their spamming ways they face termination and the hunt
for a new ISP. the hosting provider is requiring RD to remove any scraped
addresses from their mailing list.

so if your address was scraped, and you get hit again, complain to
abuse@domain.elided 

and i did get BCC'd on a few of the complaints, and the ones i've seen hit
the right note, calm, polite and professional. good job, guys. i know how
tempting it is to froth at the mouth when complaining about spam, but it
rarely gets the desired result.

cheers,
  richard
