Hi, I too received one of the mailings. In response I sent the following to both the originator and to postmaster@357.com. I just received a reply from the administrators at the site. They're investigating what steps they can take against the instigators and what preventative steps can be taken. The repsonse I sent is modelled after a suggestion I once heard for how to deal with telephone solicitors. I figure if it works for them it should work for junk e-mail too.
Here's the text of my reply:
>No, I don't need to hear this. > >Consider this formal notice of my request to be removed from whatever mailing >list you have me on. Failure to comply will be considered explicit acceptance >of the following contract. > >Contract between "tapeman@357.com" and Bruce Thompson. For a charge of $10.00 >per message payable to Bruce Thompson, Bruce Thompson is willing to read >unsolicited electronic messages. An invoice will be sent automatically after >each message received to be payed in full upon receipt. > > Thank you. > Bruce Thompson
Cheers, Bruce.
