Wooohooo, now if only they could imprison the other million or so spammers, my inbox wouldn't be filled with piles of absolute crap each day :-x

Actually (although I don't recall where I read it), it's estimated that 90% of all spam email (comprising half of all internet traffic) originates from as few as 150 individuals worldwide.

I'd say this particular guy, with some disks full of email harvesters, was real small-fry. But it's a start.

BTW...Karlos, why is that poor weeble still under interrogation??? :-D

He has yet to confess where he has hidden all the pies...:lol:

I dunno, picture a few (as in a hundred or so) fairly well kitted out machines set up to do nothing but email people all day, every day via a high speed connection.

It wouldn't take that many to generate the tide of sh!te that arrives in any mail address you ever had harvested.

Perhaps some prison warden or other might print out all the spam he ever got, roll it up tight and insert it painfully back in the guys personal outbox :lol:

You can only hope...

I wonder how long it will take for a flood of emails from some unpronouncably named nigerian people "requesting financial assistance", "at no risk to you" to help free some wrongfully incarcerated relation, who upon having their funds transferred will buy themselves out of prison and give use x % :lol:
