Default Reducing Spam Associated with Posting to Newsgroups


-----Original Message-----
I used ROT-13 from about 1987-2001.
I stopped when I got my mvps.org
address - the domain owner is death on spam,


What I don't understand is why ISPs allow spam to enter
the network at all. It cannot be in their interests to
propagate SPAM that clogs everything up ???

Surely it would be simple enough to restrict all "normal"
postings to no more than say ten addresses ?

Providers of Mailing Lists would need to have special
authorisation (pre-registration) and use a special number -
surely no big deal ?

Shows how much (little) I know....
