The simple rules for spamfighting..
(Winkelmans effe opletten)

---
# Bring a spamtrap. Preferably, bring at least two spamtraps. Bring all of your friends who have large mallets.
# Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Blocklists are cheap. BandWidth is expensive.
# Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
# If your LARTing stance is good, you're probably not reading fast enough nor using your mallet correctly.
# Move away from your attacker. Google is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal searches are preferred.)
# If you can choose what to bring to a spamfight, bring a big mallet and a friend with a long blacklist
# In ten years nobody will remember the details of your LARTs, Cartooneys, or tactics. They will only remember who offered spamfree inboxes .
# If you are not LARTing, you should be communicating, searching, and relax.
# Accuracy is relative: most spamfighting standards will be more dependent on "Duh-factor" than the inherent accuracy of spammer.
# Someday some spammer may 'Joe' you with your own 'address', but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is MUNGED.
# Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
# Have a plan.
# Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
# Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
# Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
# Don't drop your (e)smtp inbound rules.
# Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
# Watch their servers. Relays kill. In $DEITY we trust. Everyone else, keep your proxies where I can see them.
# Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
# The faster you finish the fight, the less spam you will get.
# Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to LART/Plonk everyone you meet.
# Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
# Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to confrontation, deferrence, and escalation.
# Do not attend a spamfight with a box, the caliber of which does not start with a "633" and runz *nix
