(May 8, 1999) Echelon Eavesdrops Around the World Without Warrant or Court Order Spam
People who send spam (unsolicited, unwanted emails) are thieves. Most spammers send their mail through servers they are not authorized to use. They forge return addresses, or break the anti-spam rules they signed when using services such as Hotmail. Many people who receive spam live in countries where they pay for every minute online. Thus spammers steal other people's resources, and should therefore be dealt with as the criminals they are.
Tip: Never reply to spam, even if the spammer promises to remove your name from his list. Remember, most spammers are liars. By writing back you show that you a) have a valid email address, and b) read your spam. Your email address may be removed from the spammer's list, but will almost certainly be sold to other spammers.
Read the information provided at these sites to learn how you can take action against spammers.
Note: CMR takes decisive action against all spammers - including those who hawk "Christian" services, web sites, products, etcetera).
