Re: About the SPAM

[Shane McDaniel]

No they only know that _his/her_ email address is real.  Though actually
replying to most spammers is fairly futile.  Either you give them info
about an actual addy or you just get a bounced message cause they spoof
their address.  I think I see why some ISP's just block off all emails
from certain countries now.  It's sad that a country that is advancing
like china is taking it's first real steps on the internet so poorly.
