Thank you for your reply on 1/26/03. I have pasted a copy of it below. Since I continue to receive daily unsolicited spam from your company and have tried (unsuccessfully) to remove myself from your list(s), I can find no other solution but to forward each email I receive from your company to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.
Heh. We are not sending you any spam. If you keep thinking that we are the bad guys, you are on the wrong path. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission won't be able to help you I am afraid. Email addresses can be faked. Anybody can send out mails with your email address, as if were sent by you. This is how the system is designed. The guys who started out sending emails never thought that it will go this far. Here is a "service", where you can try to send a mail from any address to your mailbox, and see how any mail address can be used to send out mails without the original email address holder knowing about the thing... http://sendfakemail.com/ Goba [one webmaster@php.net]
