Spam King to Sing For Feds?
Vainglorious Coward writes "Infoworld is repeating the rumours that Alan 'spam king' Ralsky has been arrested by the Feds. With the file sealed for 72 hours, the article claims the underworld is abuzz with concern that, faced with enough evidence to put him in jail, Ralsky will squeal on his associates. We should know in the next couple of days whether any of the roaches scurrying for cover are going to get stomped."

The term you are looking for is "Yarmulke". Unfortunately, it is pronounced exactly like "Yamaka".

Mail that is sent to a post office, post station, or a mail box can be Returned to Sender for "no such name/wrong name". This is the case for eMail sent to an account that does not ackowledge a prior Trust with the origin of that message of the eMail. The problem with eMail is not the fact that the electronic Mail has a strong separation of Client and Server in the trusted transfer to the local Client (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) through the trusted delivery (Post Office Protocol or POP3), but the fact that the verry movement of mail can't be retro-marked at the server to not ACCEPT the mail without the Client. In other words, the verry electronic Mail system is built upon Trust that the mail server always is in Acceptance of every peice of Mail on behalf of the account holder. In standard Administrative court procedure, all mail matter is as much a contract or claim; there needs to be a electronic Mail procedure to recognize that acceptance of the Mail surely does not constitute an Agreement with the mail.
Now to get to the point: when an electronic Mail account does not exist, the message is acknowledged by the receiving Trusted Server along the subject matter of "Not Accepted" or "No Such Account/Not Deliverable" or "Account Full/Not Deliverable." I find this is the true and correct response to all Mail (electronic or letters patent) for the response to an Offer (Commercial) to Negotiate a service (contract) or Commercial Speach (ADVERTISEMENT, ALL-UPPER-CASE-NONSENSE GRAMMAR for saile). If there was a parallel protocol to negotiate the disclosure and cause a Mail account to be receptive to mail directed to it and having no association or appointment or assignment, then that is where these things stand to allow an Owner to direct an Mail Client to give preference to the Server (think postmaster's utility) to not give admittance and correspondance to the Mail Client's Trusted account reservoir on a Server.
The preference on the Server could be a simple "Not Deliverable" if a server flag hasn't confirmed "By Prior Appointment" with a secure cryption in GPG or PGP key, or "Ignore all Mail" with preference to a private list accessed in real-time to the Client's addressbook or an Online Addressbook in relation to an Career or Job-related Addressbook on a specialty or general website (think of Yahoo Auctions, eBay auctions, and independent and particular venues corresponding to private matter or club). In other words, SPAM is a problem with a Trusted Server accepting Mail from a transient client having its non-automated process manipulated by the piracy of an automated agent of an unidentified tresspasser.
