Greetings. Yes, let's take it easy. I missed a whole series of
articles here due to my procmail filter - it zaps ANYTHING with
cyberpromo.com in it (this article only had "cyberpromo" so it
got to live... a bug? ;-)

I really don't see what's wrong with a "three strikes and you're out".
Give Cyberpromo (and their peers savetrees) 3 chances and then filter
their messages out. That's MY policy. My third notice also goes to ALL
the nameservers as well... so they know who they are associating with.

I guarantee you... sooner or later you'll all get spammed by each and
every a**hole on this filter list... I used to get ~15-20 (peak 28)
SPAMs a day.. now only 4-9 get through.... I'm a happy camper. (yes, that's
a "day" not a "week"... I get a further ~60 messages from the web site and
more from this list - filtered off into a separate file (which I'm reading
now :-)

Take care.

P.S. I'll change the filters to exclude any occurrence of the pattern on
LYNX-DEV channel. That way, I'll actually get to see your replies ;-)
