Re: defamatory joe job attack by botnet

I can only second Charles' and Isi's statements.... I sent a mail 
earlier this morning to the list, and it was bounced back to me by 
different engines. I made my case worse by  underlining the fact that 
the body of the messages sent under my sp**fed identity were either 
advertising P*RN   sites, or were plain SP*M for any kind of products.. 
the full and correct spelling of P*RN and SP*M  triggered also some 
sites to reject straight away my message ;-).  Life is not easy, and it 
seems we ain't seen anything yet... oh well...:-)
