Re: Anti-spam Working Group

Kerstin,

I don't think that such a problem is so difficult to be fixed.  I rather
think that UUNET (USA) DON'T CARE ABOUT THE INTERNET COMMUNITY.  I was
expecting at least an answer (other that an automated one) from them. 
Also, I agree that most of the sysadmins will never make a distinction
between UUNET USA and any other UUNET.  If they'll decide to block some
e-mail traffic, they'll block *.uu.net and I don't think that you'll be
able to change their mind.  Also, I bet that UUNET (USA) will not have
any e-mail filter before Y2K.  
I think that if the European Internet community will have some anti-spam
policy (black hole will be fine), maybe then we'll be able to get rid of
spammers using relays in Spain or Korea or Mexico or UUNET (USA).

Regards,
Corneliu
