This could set a precedent for the future, no more inboxes full of junk mail.

I'm sure that spammer 'John Doe #4' of 'unknown location' is terrified of AOL's tough new policies.

Anybody notice how spam lately is becoming increasinly stupid? Before it was real offers about stuff you'de might like. Now its garbled crap you cant use.

Example, I get about 12 messages a day of pure wingdings. Nope no idea what there advertising. Or maybe its Klingons bounching a signal off the moon, trying to sell me some cool technology?

Of course you can, because your ping is horrible.  In some games, that gives you an advantage.

This is great even though my own porn infested email isnt at AOL. My email account is so PORN infested I can barely even use it. It was wierd, all of a sudden a few maybe 5 months ago I started getting TONs of PORN in my email where as before I never did. I hate SPAM also wish my own email provider was better at blocking SPAM.
