I don't remember you being named out apart from the action given to you
on the previous LINX meeting.

As for spam, the first and most important issue regarding this is 
to educate users and vendors into securing their mail transport agents
so that they _DO_NOT_ automatically relay any email that is sent to them.

Microsoft, sendmail and others are all guilty of this, [mostly for 
backwards compatibility reasons]. Fix that and then the spammers
have to pay for their own resources...

Neil
