Best place to register to get Spam?

    I am receiving spam from a small Irish business that I once bought something from. They are a mickey mouse 2 men and a dog business, but they feel that if they have an email address they are more important than they really are. They are using a free eircom.net address. The men and dog also use this email as their personal email address. They send out crappy emails purporting to be catalogues, full of typos and bad links. I have replied to the emails asking to be removed from their list, I have phoned them and called in about it. Every time I'm told "yeah must get round to it" But it never happens.

    I've decided its pay back time. What sites can I sign up their email address to so they will get a taste of their own medicine?

    How about you contact Eircom and report them for sending spam? abuse@eircom.net or spam@eircom.net

    Yeah might do that eventually, but I'd like them to suffer for a while first

    smart thing would be to report them to their isp ... if you try and spam them, you run the risk of being reported/blacklisted yourself

    failing that ... just blacklist the mail address in question ...

    if these guys really do send spam out ... they are likely to have a spam filter ... you won't trouble them without going to a lot of effort

    my 2 cents ... report them, blacklist them, and move on

    From the topic I thought this was a genuine request for spam (i.e. for injecting into a local spam db or creating manual spam filters)... turns out it's just the opposite.

    Thread closed... Just add a mail filter (or at the very least an outlook rule) and get over it, you're just adding to the problem, not making it better.. as already said either report it or filter it.
