Porn to child
About three weeks ago someone emailed my seven-year-old son a free offer of porn, i sent it back telling them that the owner of the email address was a child. It has now become obvious that this person has registered my child with every porn site on the planet forcing me to close the email address. So far my boy has recieved 300 emails including some of the most grotesque pictures that would make pain lovers proud. My response, apart from closing the email account, is to download and use as many mass mailing list programs that i could find, but i don't think i found them all. Anyone know of a few?

Whats the use of mass mailing list programs in your case? You should be downloading something like Norton Internet Security, which combines a weak firewall with a content controller...

You've experienced Spam. You need to set a Filter up in your Email Program.
And as Rewandythal asked, what would the use of a Mass Mailing list tool be? If you are thinking of something that "opts you out for their list" good luck. I have never heard of such a tool, and doubt that one exists. Also, set up two accounts. One for spam, one that you only give to ppl that you want to respond to.
Example:
SpamAccount@Some-Free-Email.com - Give this email to forms and such on webs, that require you to sign up for a free account.
JimBob@altaISP.com - Give this email to friends, and places, who you actually communicate with.

Just wondering, do you screen your son's e-mail? I hope I don't offend, but seven years old seems to be a little young for a kid to have his own account. Why not just let him use yours?
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Sounds a little suspicious.....Me thinks a spammer is after the names of a few mass mailers he might of missed.
If that's not the case than I apologise. You don't need a mass mailer.....you need a filter. Who is the account with? Most mail servers allow you to block certain address' now days...

My son uses the computer to log on to a epilepsy website (for obvious reasons).
We use cyber patrol to monitor his actions
The mass emailers that i have used to register this person on 3000 mailing lists are DEATH AND DESTRUCTION 4, KABOOM 3, AVALANCHE 3
The reason i want to do it is pure revenge.
I cannot block Yahoo because i would end up blocking the epilepsy website mentioned above, not to mention half the planet

What you're saying doesn't make sense. You block individual address', not entire domains such as yahoo...You have just confirmed my suspicions....

Seven years old is too young for any email account in my opinon. Also, when getting spammed its best not to unsubscribe to it. Pressing unsubscribe is like letting them know that your account is still active and they will only ship your email off to more places.

Do not....I repeat....ABSOULTY DO NOT DO THIS. What you're doing is called Mail bombing. if you mail bomb you risk inciting a cracker war against you for one thing (which will lead to all kinds of trouble for you and your son that you don't want). It's also a Federal Felony, which means if you get caught you could be thrown off your ISP (or worse). What I suggest you do is CALL your ISP and ask to speak to the sysadmin. Inform him of the situation. He'll take care of it for you ....DON'T MAIL BOMB
