I am so frustrated! I am so frustrated it's driving me nuts! I mean I cannot stand this spam business any more. What is even more frustrating is the fact that there are no real solutions out there for me to get rid of spam once and for all. Everywhere I look communication has stopped being communication any more. Good people have been scared into retreat from spam and have found relief in creating cocoons of temporary relief from spam. I am talking about things like "thank you for subscribing to our blur blur blur, but please check your inbox to confirm it is really you!..." Aaahhh can someone quantify the lost resources in time and money due to spam/junk?
I want to throw a challenge to all you smart programmers. Can you come up with a lasting solution? Let me give you some ideas along these lines:
(1) - Create a program that will first of all identify the ISP address of the mail that I have classified as spam and I have junked it;
(2) - The program must crawl and identify the web host where the notorious spam has come from;
(3) Let the software send a "friendly" warning to the ISP and Web Host that an e-mail with IP address so and so is deemed offensive and can they exculpate themselves within 48 hours or else they will face a law suite whose primary emphasis will be to shut them down;
(4) The software should permanently block the offending IP address and bounce off every e-mail back to the sending ISP or Web host until they get so clogged up they must deal with this matter or else "we run them out of town!"
(5) The anti-spam software must be developed under open source arrangement and made available freely for home and personal use. A commercial version should also be developed but priced afford ably from which resources will be raised for continued development of this software.
(6) All the programmers to work on this project must be open minded and enthusiastic to move this project forward.
(7) etc. etc. etc.... If you have any feedback regarding this matter help me to resolve this problem. I am spending too much time looking and worrying about junk mail. The authors of e-mail software currently in use are not doing much otherwise we could have found a "spam/junk cure" by now!
I am truly frustrated.
Well for now at least,
I pray Peace and Prosperity to you in abundance
