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. There should be a
zero-tolerance policy for newsgroup spamming.

That can never be effective.

There should be a zero-tolerance policy for newsgroup spamming.


Then there's the real world...

What I mean is contacting the advertisers and informing them
of the existence of a boyott. That's poison to an advertising
campaign. They will drop those advertising venues like a hot
potato. There is no other effective defense than striking at
the pocketbooks fueling the evil.

Wont work because they know that you cant enforce any purported boycott.

Nope, because they know that you cant enforce any purported boycott.

Fantasy.

It isnt an effective defense either.

That's funny because their message is greeted with "User does not exist
to you" from my e-mail account. I built a very thorough Google filter
using IP addresses from GMail spam headers.

Google doesn't care and they're not going to fix it. Ask your Usenet
provider to filter Google more heavily. Odds are they already have
filters in place because Google Groups has been plagued by security
holes and nonexistent maintenance. When a feed spams this heavily and
ignores all complaints, they stop caring so much about false positives.

Sounds like what happened to myspace... 'cept they're doing something
about it.

I'm not that bothered by spam on newsgroups as it's generally easy to
spot and not open. But I suppose if it gets so bad that more than half
the posts are spam, I'd get ****ed off.

What does get my dander up are the increasing number of "junk faxes"
received at my business every day. They just waste the paper and toner I
buy and tie up our fax line.

The US Federal Telecommunications act ("TCPA"), passed in 1991 and
updated since then, expressly forbids the sending of junk faxes and even
stipulates civil penalties for violations. I've got a feeling that with
ever cheaper international telecommunication costs a lot of the junk
faxes we get originate outside of the US of A, making it even closer to
impossible to enforce the provisions of the TCPA against the faxers.

Yet the junk faxes keep coming, and there's little we can do about it
beause the people engaged in that kind of activity use dialing robots to
call "every number" and note the ones where a fax machine answers, so
they can get our fax number even if we're cautious about who we give it
out to.

Yes, I know I could use an office computer to receive faxes and not
waste paper and toner on junk faxes by only printing the "real" ones,
but I'd probably end up paying my office staff more for their time doing
that than it's costing me in wasted paper and toner now. G

Oh well, life's not fair, it never was and never will be. It's how you
handle it that makes a difference.

And what do you expect? Google is one of the most spamming sites of
all. There was a time when google was a great search engine. These
days all you get when doing a google search, all the top entries are
doubleclick ads and ebay listings. I refuse to use google for
anything these days.
