Yeah, I want revenge. I used to be such a nice guy before this happened.

Good plan. I was not thorough enough doing that, and now I get as much as
300 spams a day.

Earthlink's built-in spam tools help a lot though. (Still, I wish somebody
would find these people and do a denial-of-service attack on them.)

They are sending them to more than usenet accounts - I've not seen one
come to my account I use for usenet, but there appears to be a simple
engine that sends them to administrator or abuse or postmaster at
company accounts.

With our mail server I seen about 10 in the last couple weeks, the spam
filter catches them, and the firewall removes the attachment.

Maybe if everyone forwarded all of them to Microsoft then they would be
a bit more motivated to fix their software.
