[SpamCop-List]Question? An "anti-spam" software promoted by... spam: http://e-bla.com/

[Elton]

Whoa!

I am using SpamPal to filter my email. It does a very good job.  How would I
know if this product is promoted my Spammers? Is there some kind of test??

YIKES!

Now, spammers are trying to defeat those that hate spams, by proposing to
sell them anti-spam products:
http://e-bla.com/
I would not trust any site selling anti-spam products (possibly hacked!)
just because these "softwares" may have been modified to let their own spam
come through as if it was "opt-in".
