NMIA policy absolutely forbids any of our subscribers or clients to send or to be party to any spam. We cannot do anything about unwanted messages once they have been received, unless the volume of such messages amounts to harassment or is illegal.

Today, spam or UCE (unsolicited commercial email) is a fact of Internet life. It has become more common over time, as spammers collect more email addresses, and as more Internet users respond positively to it, making it more profitable.

It is very difficult to stop or avoid SPAM without disrupting normal mail or usenet service. Any attempt to block spam involves a risk of inadvertently blocking a message you wish to receive.

In general, NMIA advises not to respond directly to any spam message, in particular not to try to prevent further spamming by filling out a form or sending a reply to a spam message.

NMIA does not initiate any control of email or usenet news because we are not qualified to determine what our subscribers should see. To do otherwise would be censorship and an unacceptable intrusion.

Here are a few links to useful SPAM resources.
