Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for reporting the unsolicited email you received. The NETSCAPE.NET
addresses referenced have been cancelled for terms of service violations.
NETSCAPE.NET, as a web-based email system, is inconvenient for bulk emailers
to
originate their advertisements and we are completely locked down for relay and
SMTP. Reviewing
the headers of unsolicited mail received will verify that it probably did not
route or originate via our system. Some spammers establish email accounts for
harvest/drop box purposes
that are canceled immediately and permanently upon detection. Our Abuse
Department proactively searches for these accounts from complaints received
and
system monitoring we
maintain on a constant basis.
Because 98% of spam email referencing a NETSCAPE.NET address does not travel
from or through our system, canceling accounts does not mean that the spam
will
stop. However, it
does stop the bulk emailer from collecting requests for more information and
remove requests. This is important because 'remove' requests only provide the
sender with valid email
addresses that are then sold to other bulk emailers.
Please forward a single copy as text with full headers of any UCE/UBE received
referencing a NETSCAPE.NET address to abuse@netscape.net for corrective
action.
