Ranked as the 8th most prolific spammer in the world, Jaynes\' spamming, or "e-mail marketing business" as he liked to call it, netted him US$750,000 a month at its peak. The actual crime he committed was sending mail under a false address, meaning the spam receiver could never request that further e-mail not be sent. This is a criminal offense under Virginia law.

:eek:

I’m not that bothered by spam anymore since I installed Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (excellent spam filter together with Norton IS and my ISPs filter), but a lot of people are. There are few things as annoying as downloading 15 new emails and 14 of them are spam! Serves him right even if 9 years is a little... much! :)

Let me guess, the rest are gay emails, from the \'adult sites\' you like to browse during lunch, right? ;)
