Internic wants to be informed of domains that do not have postmaster accounts.
I now must fulfill my duty as a responsible net citizen and report this horrible
infraction. Score 1 against CyberPromo!
BUT WAIT! There's more. Now Microsoft is being pulled into this as a forged return
address for the remove request. Here's all the proof you need to see:

It also lists Sprint and AOL as paths too. I am too tired to screw with this, but
it is obvious that is NOT AOL that is involved in this scam.
UPDATE 6/5/1997
Apparently Tiffany just won't take "no" for an answer. That must make her popular
with the boys. Yet again she sent me the URL, this time forging a different return
address.

While we're discussing this, "hotmail.com" is proving their swift actions and
removing themselves of responsibility. I do not want to slam hotmail.com, but
I was mainly emailing them to inform them of what was going on. It appears
that they sent me a form letter, as apparently very many people have complained
about this user. I'd show you what this looks like, but I updated my emailer and
it took the liberty of totally obliterating my "inbox", and so 90 OTHER emails
that I need just for day to day business are fried as well. Thanks, Claris Emailer
2.0! It does the upgrade fine on 2 other Macs, but my work machine doesn't...

Apparently some spammer or some other entity has decided I want porn, as I seem to
be dealing with an awful lot of porno spam now. I've been spammed by this site before.
I am forwarding the complaint to MCI and the correct postmasters. I have confirmed the
email DNS entry and a traceroute showed MCI being dragged into this. I also have a lot
of other people to notify.

Gee, just what I want hitting my OFFICE during the weekend. What do these spammers
think? What, if it festers for a few days, they can avoid a flame back? WRONG! I'll
flame these idiots anyplace and any time. Plus, both of my business partners frown
on spamming and spammers, so you can expect this entire site to start really taking
off, which is unfortunate, but it is necessary.
Of course, I'm noticing that spammers are assuming that the majority of users are
using a web browser for their emailer as well, so they try and be cute and add
plenty of flawed HTML to help you get "off" on the information super highway.
Of course, the bogus Hotmail.com account, or at least a now-cancelled Hotmail
account.

Gee, why do I continue to get this garbage? I certainly don't want it.
On the plus side, this spammer doesn't know how to hide his tracks. This makes
it very easy to register complaints. However, it did try to forge the originating
address, but did a very poor job of it, especially since it's a bogus domain
Let's do some whois look-ups:

Let's also not overlook the poor HTML. This idiot assumes everyone is retarded enough
to use Netscape as an emailer. Not here! Of course, there is also no remove function,
helping to make this very illegal.

Oh gee, how clever. Since you have to be 21 or over to get in, they sent this
uwanted garbage to me on the 21st of the month. Ooh, symbolic.
More porno crap. Why am I getting this garbage? I clearly don't want it.
Netcom must be pretty tolerant of this sort of behavior. And I get this
crap at work too. None of my email addresses are safe.
Of course, no spam seems complete today without bad HTML, and assuming we
must all be using are web client to handle email as well.
So, let's see who these porno-peddlers are, shall we?

Well, I've been targeted out as a porn pusher by this little pervert. I am not running
an adult site, so where the hell does this idiot think he gets off sending my this
crap? The only difference from the norm is that this sicko is not using a mailing list,
nor is it very good about hiding its tracks. That makes it easier for me to wreak havoc
on the spammer.
He wants me to push his porno services, but wants to pay me for refering degenerates
like himself over to his sites. I don't want to have anything to do with little
perverts and porno sites.
Fortunately, this little deviant has the audacity to post a 1-800 number to call if I
have any questions, such as, "Why is this crap in my mailbox?":

Apparently this pervert is doing so well that he's choosing to spam again.
Actually, he must not be doing too well because he is spamming again. This
person doesn't even learn from his own mistakes.
On the plus side, the path is the same, so I'm not going to bother doing
new lookups.
I would like to comment on their remove function that doesn't work. Since I
requested removal, they said I'd never hear from them again. OK, then explain

Gee, another supposed free porno site. Obviously by viewing the spam, they have a large
amount of AOL addresses to spam. This also means a lot of children are going to see
this sort of garbage, which will lead to censorship laws being passed. Of course, more
garbage going through PSI. They just don't seem to care anymore.

Short, simple and to the point. Oh then the blatant lies of "my computer

work address is not registered. OR, 411 is harvesting addresses and then
selling them.
She's looking for me, I'm not looking for her. Talk about looking for love

Note the disposable "hotmail" account. Typical. I'm sure this account is
already deleted, and PSI is oblivious to illegal activities going through
their services.

First, Juno.com is a banned domain due to their blatant lack of concern regarding spam.
Second, this is CyberPromo trash.
Third, CyberPromo used SMTP hijacking to send this spam via Earthlink
Fourth: Earthlink doesn't seem too concerned about this.
Fifth: This is porno spam.
Live girls eh? I suppose there's no market for dead girls. Why does this garbage continue
to come to my mailbox?
I wonder what the IP address resolves to:
www.xxxtiffany.com, more or less. All links point to this site.
Time for whois look-ups.
>whois livgrilesgood.com
No match for "LIVGRILESGOOD.COM".
No suprises there. This makes this entry quick. Earthlink and PSI are involved. Juno
should be involved due to the address forgery, but they don't care, so why bother?

Well, this amazing piece of garbage was sent only via spamming domains with little to no
forging as best I can tell. This is also IEMMC garbage, which clearly shows IEMMC is not
honoring remove requests. Short, lame, vague. Typical porno spam.
The thing that makes this rather amusing is that They are attempting to make it appears
as though I've been conversing with them via the "Re:" portion of the subject. That won't
get anywhere because of my mail filters, so it's immediately tagged for "processing".
Great, now I have to go add this update to several pages.

Another porn spam I would assume. No DNS entry. This domain does not exist.
Again, I'm assuming this is a porno spam. Typically, spams list REAL sites, but
apparently not all spammers are even that smart. I their ploy is that somehow I
intercepted this misdirected email between "gals", like I'm privvy to some little

I suppose this is a contrast to "dead dead dead", which would probably make those
odd necrophiliacs go wild. Great, yet another adult site on the internet, spamming
via UU.Net. This does save me a lot of time. They also include a remove function,

Wonderful. Gay party line chat. Oh, and it's free on Mondays IF you have
Sprint's Free Monday package. Since I am not gay and I don't have Sprint,
this service definately seems like something I have absolutely zero
interest in. Just because this service is free doesn't mean it isn't spam.
It is still spam.
But these spammers want to be equal opportunists, they even have a
straight party chat line on another line.
Or, if you're into this sort of thing, you can have a tarot card reading
on yet another line. You'd think these people would have seen it in their
cards that spamming is not a good thing. That just goes to show you how
reputable these people are.
They want me to save this message for the future. Well, no, I won't save it,

No. I don't remember her/him/whatever/. This little deviant is telling me to use
the IEMMC non-functioning remove feature, so I also have to report this on my
IEMMC report page. They are also using "tricks" to make this suddenly appear
legitimate and I accept it. They have a remove feature, but at first glance, I can
not tell if it is a CyberPromo domain. The lookups will tell me that.
They also say that by scrolling down into the body of the message, I am electronically
