With spammers, *nothing* works 100%. Even killing their link. It took a
long time of concentrated effort to get Spamford bounced off the net.
Mostly, they just pop up somewhere else. So what if you get TO deleted, big
deal. Those spammers will simply move on. The only thing we can do is work
on reducing the forgeries so they can be more easily filtered and GET THOSE
RELAYS CLOSED. Everyone, running sendmail, should be at v8.9.1 and
subscribed to the RBL, IMHO.
