[Elecraft] Spam

I do not mind so much Elecraft builders advertising their wares via the 
list or even directly.  What I do not like, although I accept it is an 
inevitable consequence of belonging to an email list, is getting spam 
from some organisation or individual hawking something which has nothing 
to do with the Elecraft range of products.

I got one such from a jewelry outfit recently.  I viewed the headers and 
copied them and the entire message and pasted it into the Spamcop site.  
Spamcop replied with the address of the address to which complaints of 
abuse should be addressed.  I had the satisfaction of subsequently being 
informed by that ISP that they had terminated the spammer's account.

Have a look at http://www.spamcop.com

It is not often you apparently win against spammers, but it is sweet 
when you even think that you may have.
