Titolo: Spam Policy (lungo)

Come potete vedere dalla mia firma, ho un account di posta gratuita su
Crosswinds.
Sono andata a vedere la loro sezione sullo spam (enorme) ed ho trovato delle
cose veramente interessanti, tra cui links utili, lettere-tipo da mandare agli
indirizzi abuse@..., righe di codice html da inserire nelle pagine web, etc... 
Ho scoperto anche che non solo combattono lo spam che parte dai loro server, ma
anche quello che arriva... 
Se volete farci un giro, questo e' l'indirizzo:

E questo e' un estratto: 
****
What is SPAM? 
SPAM is any e-mail that is sent to any individual or individuals that is
unsolicited and/or unwanted. Usually, the recipients are unknown or not known
very well by the sender. The latter does not have to be the case. Any unwanted
e-mail is considered SPAM. 
What legal backing does Crosswinds have? 
Crosswinds charges $500 US dollars per attempted recipient, successful or
otherwise, to use our mail server for bulk e-mailing purposes. The price is high
because our name is attached to the e-mail. This is a service that we provide,
and therefore we are legally entitled to bill those who use, or attempt to use,
our servers for these purposes. 
How do we find the SPAMmer? 
It's quite simple. Enclosed in all e-mail is the path that the e-mail has taken.
The "name" portions of the headers can be faked, but the IP address (the numeric
address of the machine) of the originating server cannot. Every message is
logged in the system message with this information. In collaboration with
originating ISPs, we can legally acquire personal information for the purposes
of taking legal action.  [...]
What can you do about SPAM? 
First thing is to look at the headers of the e-mail. It will show many server
names and most likely IP addresses. If you cannot do this, just Forward (using
the forward command in your e-mail program) the e-mail to 
ab...@crosswinds.net
.
We will get the headers intact and begin to hunt the offender. If you can read
the headers, find all the networks involved (after the @ sign in e-mail
addresses) and Forward the e-mail to 
ab...@crosswinds.net
 and include in the CC
line all the networks you found - mail to abuse@ and postmaster@ for all those
networks. 
We receive every e-mail, although we might not respond right away. Be assured
that we will not tolerate this kind of behavior. 
Other SPAM Suggestions 
[...]
Some SPAM will say something like 'to remove yourself from this mailing list,
simply reply to the address below with the word REMOVE in the subject line' -
don't be fooled by this. By replying to any e-mail address, you are proving to
the SPAMmer that there is a real person that they can get to respond at that
e-mail address. Even though it might be law soon that the company oblige the
remove request, that does not stop them from selling your e-mail address to
others. 
Quite simply, SPAM has to be stopped. With millions of SPAM e-mails being sent
each day, it slows down the Internet as a whole, and it's intrusive. Some will
say they have the right to promote their business...blah blah blah... Well, you
do not have the right to steal the services of our mail server, and that's that.
Any Crosswinds account used for SPAM will be deleted, and the owner billed. If
payment is not received, legal action will be taken.

 Interessante. E' legale?
Negli USA, penso proprio di si'. Il server e' loro. Quindi hanno il
diritto
di fare - o non fare - pagare qualsasi cifra per il suo utilizzo. Una
volta
resa pubblica la cosa, se usufruisci del servizio sei tenuto a pagare (e
la loro giustizia civile e' *molto* piu' efficiente della nostra... per
non citare il
fatto che un bad credit record ti rende un paria a tutti gli effetti, e
quindi
anche se riesci a evitare di pagare - nel breve, almeno - non ti togli
dai problemi.
Ciao!

Interessante. E' legale?
E` un contratto. Se il cliente lo firma e` legale.
Io lo suggerisco sempre ai provider, aiuta a trasformare il proprio
abuse department in una fonte di liquidita`. :-)
Pensa a quanti soldi farebbe TIN...
