FTC vs. Open Relays, round 2

mbrain writes "PC World is reporting on a new federal program run by the FTC to close relays and proxies that serve as spam gateways. It's called 'Operation Secure Your Server'. The FTC will publicize this program by... sending tens of thousands of emails." I think it's a continuation of this program.

    I just downloaded the official MOZILLA 1.6 release. I got the whole version -- the browser, mail client, newsreader, IRC chat, etc. I had previously just used the Firebird Web browser and used a web mail service.

    Well, I hooked up a secret program that downloads mail from my web mail service (Hotmail) and directly into Mozilla email. Let me tell you -- Mozilla's junk mail filtering is AMAZING.

    I had over 200 messages the FIRST time I downloaded them all, and it accurately marked probably 98%+ of them as SPAM if they were spam. I never had to even look at them, it automatically put them in a junk mail folder.

    I wish EVERYONE used this kind of powerful mail client as Mozilla Email. I called my mom, even, and suggested she go to mozilla.org to download it and just give it a try. I can't imagine NOT using this.

    SPAM is killed DEAD in its spot by Mozilla. Great work and many kudos (and many saved hours of email deletion) to the team!

    Open Source is amazingly powerful.

    Snake was walking through the cave with Meryl. She had gotten quite a ways ahead of him, he saw one of the wolves, and it looked like a goddess. Before Snake new it, he had a hand in his pants, he decided he'd get a little closer to the wolf.

    Snake walked up behind the wolf and grabbed it by the tail. It growled in response. Snake lit a cigarette and burnt it on the wolf's pussy. Seeing it yelp in pain made Snake's Erection grow very large, he grabbed a hold of the wolf's legs, holding it up so that its behind was facing Snake's genitals. Snake pulled his penis out of his pants and shoved it far into the wolf's baby making hole. (This information is here for you idiots that might want have a baby with a wolf)

    Snake thrusts hard into the poor animal, Snake could tell it was bleeding, he didn't care one bit. "YEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!" cried the wolf as it choked on its tongue and died.
    Snake pulled out of the wolf, and jacked the rest off into the wolfs face.

    Snake was satisfied; he pulled up his pants and started to make his way back to Meryl.
    That's when he noticed that she had been right there watching him the whole time.

    She smiled cruelly. "Snake, how could you do that with the wolf instead of me?" She asked in a sexy tone.

    Snake walked up to her slowly. "Because the wolf smells better than you do." He joked (not really.)

    Meryl laughed. "Is that so? I bet I could change your mind." She said teasingly.

    Snake sighed. "Actually, the wolf is hotter than you are, too." He smiled. "But, you can still try all you like, you slut ass cunt."

    Hearing these words gave Meryl a tingly feeling between her legs, she reached her hands down and pulled off her pants.

    Snake looked Surprised. "Are you really gonna get naked in this weather?" He asked, as he scratched his crab lice infested Genitals.

    Meryl nodded. "Yep, I want you to fuck me like one of your wolves!" she said as she ripped off her shirt.

    Snake took off his clothing, only to reveal a man that had all sorts of Genital warts.

    This didn't bother Meryl. "Don't worry Snake, I've got all of the crotch diseases that you do," she said as she moved one of her hands down his body and grabbed his erect penis.

    Snake gasped, "Can we do this in the light? I want to see what you look like."

    Meryl nodded. "Let's go out there," she said as she pointed towards the light.

    When they got out into the lighted area, Meryl took complete charge. She got on top of Snake and made him suck her cock. (Just kidding) She sat on his face and ordered him to eat her out. Meryl was surprised at how good Snake was at this, after only a few minutes of intense oral sex that only Snake could deliver, she came. Snake slurped up all of her woman juices happily.

    After that, Snake took charge. He grabbed a Raven and licked its asshole, and then he thrusts his tongue into the birds butt. Killing it in no time from all of the pain, Snake tossed it aside and continued what he was about to do. He thrust his amazingly long penis into her mouth. Meryl nearly choked to death on his cock.

    She cried, "Sneake, I cen't teke that much Im me mouf!" she screamed.

    Snake didn't care.

    He thrust hard into her mouth, it even went into her throat sometimes too! Just when Meryl was going to die from it he pulled out. He told her to, "Spread you're damn legs, hoe!" He yelled in her ear.

    Meryl did as she was told. She braced herself for Snake's long penis. Snake didn't waste any time, He positioned himself on top of her and slammed into her cunt. Meryl screamed, "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! YOU FUCKER! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU??!!" she screamed in pain.

    Snake replied, "AAAHHHHAAAAAHHHAAA!!! You wanted it so bad earlier, you goddamn Rookie." Snake continued his rape/hard fucking on Meryl. After a long while she actually started to like it.

    She screamed, "Oh yessss! Fuck me hard with your monster cock SNAKE!!!"

    Snake laughed. "I'll fuck you until you
