Hi there I'm the "spamer" And my domain is noe listed along with half the
ip's of our ISP on smapbag.
My intention was no to offend anyone or was resourse, just to inform them
that i was offering a free service that they might benifet from..
I apologise to those offended.
I will find another way to inform people ..
Many thanks
Gregory Machin
PS Internet resouces are very expensive in south africa ...

Not really the point of my comment. If someone is going to trawl the net
and spam other _worldwide_ resources, they're targeting the _WHOLE_
internet, for what they're publicizing as a regional interest.
As for connectivity-bandwidth issues - I suspect that a forum decated to
limited connectivity-bandwidth concerns would be just as globally
applicable as a local one, with the exception of local-specific resources
such as advertising for regional ISPs catering to such needs. From the
list of forums in the spam, I didn't see anything covering "micro
distributions" "connectivity", or anything implying that the spammed
service catered to an audience with such limitations. The thing that
stuck
out the most was that he was spamming to the procmail list, and his own
list of crap doesn't even include mail filtering topics (which of course,
the procmail list already does, so it'd have still been spam).
Frankly, I don't much care where a resource is located, so long as they
advertize it in a responsible manner, and it's accessible to those who
need
it. Procmail.org is webhosted in the US, mailhosted in the netherlands,
yet this discussion list for it is in Germany, on which the list exchanges
are carried out in English.
