Yup...*sigh* The most stupid spam setup I've seen.
I made an automatic forward of every reply to the list to [email protected]... but they probably gets filtered as spam.

The best spam email for the year!
I will send the info to CNN and have the investigation team knocks on his door and expose him/her to the world.

Everyone should do the same.
Let get them guys!

Ditto. But one thing I noticed is that the 100+ emails I received were all sent to a new email address I recently put in my Contact info at Enom...

I contacted their host as soon as this happened. Instead of shutting them down immediately, they gave them 48 hours to respond.

I haven't been getting "new post" updates for this thread..I checked and they're being filtered as spam ....perhaps the title "worldswidedomainname.com" or "spams" is directing them to my spam box ??

I also have several calls in to them also. They claim to have shut down his site yesterday, but that it will take another 24-48 hrs for everything to go away. THis is BS of course, but definitely not good for business for them.

It's an ezmlm mailing list. Everyone that sends a message sends it to everyone on the list..

They should be in the spam folder. The problem is some of the not too smart people try to reply to the email which in turn reply to everyone on the list.
