[Cialug] F'n Opt-in Spammers

[Tim Perdue]

Wow. I may go back to my prior plan, which was to pipe the 
tim at perdue.net address into a php script that would /dev/null everything 
except a handful of known-good addresses (register.com, 
networksolutions, tonybibbs.com, etc)

perdue.net is already in my blacklist, since so much spam was coming in 
from bogus support at perdue.net, admin@, blah@, etc, that I had to ban my 
own damned domain.
