How about this; I change the SMTP HELO banner to say something like "I do not give authorisation to send unsolicited email through this system".
This would then mean that this text is sent to the SPAMers server before they sent a SPAM. Should they proceed a warning was clearly given saying that authorisation was not given.
I hope this stands up in court. I really look forward to laying a criminal charge against SPAMers operatig from NZ.
Is there much spam originating in NZ though I wonder ? Apart from the odd cases mentioned here *ahem* and open relays / proxies, I don't really recall seeing any that weren't already mentioned in NZNOG, or werent simply cases of overseas spammers making use of NZ open relays/proxies etc.... and in the latter case who are you going to lay a complaint against ? I'm sure no doubt there are cases, but it must be a tiny trickle in the overall flood of crap that comes from overseas.... :) Regards, Simon Byrnand iGRIN Internet
