Seems like you could cache responses to DNS queries and use the cache if the last actual DNS query for the domain was less than x minutes old. That would cut down on the net traffic at least.

To effectively end spam, just make it legal to beat the living snot out of the spammers.

What needs to happen is the government needs to make it legal for individuals to track down and bash the heads in of the spammers. That'll put an end to it.

H E L P

within the past 20 minutes, every time I have clicked to get to FR or any site within FR, I have gotten the following message:

"POTENTIALLY FRAUDULENT WEB SITE ALERT.....(red circle with the X) then "do you want to visit this potentially dangerous site? The web address you requested is on the Earthlink Scamblocker list of potentially dangerous and fraudulent web sites. Visitors to the site may be at high risk for Identity theft or other financial losses ".. then the Y or N to proceed.

When I hesitated, I got a flashing notice from Earthlink. Can someone at FR get in touch with Earthlink and tell them to take the site off its Scamblocker list?

Thanks

I'm sure there are some people that get excited when Arumbi Omigiggio, the ex-minister for domestic compliance in Nigeria notifies them they will soon have access to millions of dollars. With all that new money they buy breast implants, pop some Viagra and get their pee-pee to grow using special herbs.

Enabling a caching DNS server on the inbound email relays fixes this sort of thing... and spammers have been doing it for years.

How many spammers have they caught in THIS country? One, two perhaps, maybe three? Yeah, real effective.
