Spam with forged headers relayed through other people's sites from throw away ppp accounts, is more effective than sending the stuff from known spam addresses which can be (and probably are) blocked at routers. If they stop spamming from their own addresses, it's because they have no choice anyway. So what does the AGIS press release add up to? Bill - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
