Re: NEC-LIST: Abuse

I have also been plagued by numerous spams - in particular the
infamous Nigerian Scam/Spam. I get the feeling that the lists have
been culled illegally from perfectly legitimate user lists. Short of
going to the trouble to register a new address, I see no easy way out.
Only one service provider has acted on my complaints. The alternative
of filtering out the service provider itself is not practical, because
many of us get perfectly legitimate e-mail routed through them.

None of the virus writers seem to be interested in performing a truly
public service by devising viruses specifically intended for spam
originators.
