That parts very simple. It directly deals with this line:
[b]Product:
[] 1.5 Million USA Business Fax Numbers $49 USD[/b]
Basically, they don't have your fax number. Faxing them won't remove you from the e-mail list. Instead it will add you to their fax list.
Idiots
If there is why don't they enforce it?
If not there should be.
Try putting their e-mail address on someone elses spam list. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

What I do to people that send me crap like that (which happens very rarely now) is I add them to the wierdest damned e-mail lists there are. PETA, every religious organization I can find, gay porn, beastiality lists, etc. Basically, I sign em up on the most anal retentive fanatics on the net. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] 99% of the time, it works. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img] One time the idiot actually sent me another e-mail complaining about it, and sent one to my provider. (My provider and I are good buddies, and of course I told him about the whole thing. He just laughed.) I then contacted HIS provider and had him shut down in violation of the DMCA!

[b]You notice how they said DO NOT REPLY TO THIS EMAIL? Well I did...[/b][/quote]
That's not the best idea. Now they know your email address is a valid one. Of course, email addresses of mine from the late 80s that haven't been valid in over ten years are still on some of those !@*(&#*@&#'s "millions of email addresses" CDs.
_never_ reply to a spammer unless you don't mind that email address seeing an increased spam load. Of course, if it's a shell account or on a Linux box you run, you could always use Procmail as a whitelist setup and only allow people you know to email you, with everything else getting sent to /dev/null and bounced with an EXITCODE=67 (a "no such user" error).
[b]I not 100% sure but isn't there a law against stuff like that? If not there should be.[/b][/quote]
Not in the USA, it isn't. I agree. Data trading or harvesting without the owner's specific permission for that specific harvester's use only should be illegal.
[quote][b]Try putting their e-mail address on someone elses spam list. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img][/b][/quote]
I hope you're kidding and not advocating something that scummy. If it's bad for them to do and should be illegal, then it would be bad for you to do, too.
[b]The person or persons who invented this crap
[/b][/quote]
I think Canter and Siegel, the green card spamming lawyers, were the first big spammers. To the best of my knowledge, they first spammed in April of 1994. Before that, spamming was rare and small-time.
These days, my spam load has increased an order of magnitude beyond what it was last year.
[b]why dont we spam the spammers?[/b][/quote]
Because that would be as sociopathic as the original spammers. If I (or the vast majority of antispammers and sysadmins) caught you doing that, we'd make sure you lost your accounts and access, too. Rightfully so. One does not fight abuse with abuse, especially when spam is what I can see killing email as a useful communications medium. As it is, it's been estimated that spam accounts for over 30% of all email traffic, and that figure is increasing day by day.
I also heard that 87% of statistics cited in everday conversation is wrong :-)

Hopefully, people who spam spammers would be tossed out on their posteriors just like the spammers. There are more amusing ways to deal with them. If I didn't have to keep my typing to a minimum due to CTS and a possible 2nd cortisone shot in five days, I'd explain that a bit. Let's just say this was the fun I had, embarassing them:
