After complaining to Google about all the newsgroup spam that's
generated using gmail / google groups, I received the following note:
"Thank you for your note. This is an automated reply. If you're
reporting a spam email with a Google return address, please be
assured that it did not originate with Google. Google does not
permit others to send unsolicited email through its mail servers. A
number of unscrupulous businesses have sent out mass mailings with
forged Google return addresses. Google is actively pursuing all
available legal means to stop these miscreants from abusing our name
and your inbox. We appreciate your understanding, and please accept
our sympathies for the inconvenience this may have caused."
Uh huh - sure..............
The ONLY way to get effective action will be to organize a
boycott of business that advertise on googlepages and blogspot.
That can never be effective.
There should be a zero-tolerance policy for newsgroup spamming.
Then there's the real world...
