[Mimedefang] Spammers who won't take no for an answer

[Kevin A. McGrail]

Just an FYI before someone actually does this, it *IS* a crime in the US.

Though in spirit, I'm with ya ;-)

See USC Title 18, Sec 1030 (Fraud and related activity in connection with
computers) or in particularly, my state, Virginia also makes it a crime in §
18.2-152.4.

And the Virginia law is definitely NOT vague:

"A. It shall be unlawful for any person to use a computer or computer
network without authority and with the intent to:

1. Temporarily or permanently remove, halt, or otherwise disable any
computer data, computer programs, or computer software from a computer or
computer network; "
