LEMIS rejects mail from home.com

by Greg Lehey
Last update: 20 November 2000

If you are reading this, you have probably received a strange-looking message from MAILER-DAEMON@lemis.com. It means that we reject mail from your site because we have received a lot of junk mail (``spam'') from this address.

home.com is a special case: it has an abuse department, but they make it impossible to report spam, as the accompanying message shows. It's bad enough getting spam, but you'd expect a reputable ISP to at least make it possible to report spam.

Dear Friends & Future Millionaire:

+U.S. Dollars expense one time THANK'S TO THE COMPUTER AGE AND THE INTERNET!

================================================================ 

BE A MILLIONAIRE LIKE OTHERS WITHIN A YEAR!!!

Before you say ''Bull'', please read the following. This is the letter you have been hearing about on the news lately.
+Due to the popularity of this letter on the Internet, a national weekly news program recently devoted an entire show to
+the investigation of this program described below, to see if it really can make people money. The show also
+investigated whether or not the program was legal. Their findings proved once and for all that there are ''absolutely
+NO Laws prohibiting the participation in the program and if people can -follow the simple instructions, they are bound
+to make some mega bucks with only $25 out of pocket cost''. DUE TO THE RECENT INCREASE OF POPULARITY & RESPECT THIS
+PROGRAM HAS ATTAINED, IT IS CURRENTLY WORKING BETTER THAN EVER.

This is what one had to say: ''Thanks to this profitable opportunity. I was approached many times before but each time I
+passed on it. I am so glad I finally joined just to see what one could expect in return for the minimal effort and
+money required. To my astonishment, received total $610,470.00 in 21 weeks, with money still coming in." Pam Hedland,
+Fort Lee, New Jersey. ================================================================

Here is another testimonial: "This program has been around for a long time but I never believed in it. But one day when
+I received this again in the mail I decided to gamble my $25 on it. I followed the simple instructions and walaa .....
+3 weeks later the money started to come in. First month I only made $240.00 but the next 2 months after that I made a
+total of $290,000.00. So far, in the past 8 months by re-entering the program, I have made over $710,000.00 and I am
+playing it again. The key to success in this program is to follow the simple steps and NOT change anything.'' More
+testimonials later but first,

+READ IT AGAIN and AGAIN!!! FOLLOW THE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION BELOW AND YOUR
