Okay, so nobody likes spam, but it seems like nobody is doing
anything to
stop it, other than blocking a sender or the domain - and
that's not working
very well.
Why not let the individual consumer/user do the deed?
Add a feature in OE that will give the USER the option to block
the bloody
ISP who
is allowing spam or porn to be sent through it's system. Under
where OE has
"Block Sender," add one that reads, "BLOCK ISP."
When the USER gets a spam e-mail, he or she clicks on the "new"
option and
with that one click of a key be told who, and where, the ISP is
and...
1. How many spam e-mails the user has received via that ISP so
he/she can
take
whatever action deemed necessary and...
2. The user would then be given the option of blocking
everything coming
from that ISP for a period of 10 days, 30 days, 6 months or
permanently - but
let the user make that decision and...
3. The user could, if he/she wants to, send the ISP
e-notification that any
and everything coming from their system is blocked and how long
the "time
out" period is, and the reason(s).
Spammers change names and domain names constantly, and they
employ a million
tricks, but they all have to have an ISP who has to remain
"still" - and I
want to get him in the cross-hairs!
One person blocking out everything coming from an ISP won't get
their
attention, but when 100,000+ people do, they'll have to decide
to cut loose
the spammer or risk lose legit customers.
It may be worth a shot. If you agree, please reply and if
enough of us do,
maybe, just maybe, MS will consider it!
