CALIFORNIA LEGISLATOR Debra Bowen is Quoted as Saying:

"Trusting Microsoft to protect computer users from spam is
 like putting telemarketers in charge of the do-not-call list."

----- ---- --- -- -   -
MICROSOFT CRITICIZES SPAMMERS AND SPAMS THEMSELVES?

Do You Feel It Is OK for the World's Largest Software Monopoly
to Spam and Nobody Else?  You Make the Decision...

Shouldn't the Largest Monopoly Worldwide be Setting an Example?

-> Remember MICROSOFT Sends SPAM For Thousands of Companies.

-> Just Because The Words "Microsoft" Aren't In The Spam, It
-> Doesn't Mean They Don't Profit a Fortune in $$$ From Their
-> BCentral Listbuilder Spam For Hire Email Spamming Service.

All Archived for Public Viewing on Google Groups Newsgroups:
news.admin.net.abuse.email & Listserv SPAM-L Mailing List


11- "Microsoft is going to spam no matter what anyone says.
     The whole "Master suppression list" is a farce. All it
     does is keep the most vocal complainers quiet by not
     sending any spam to them. Microsoft DOES NOT care what
     people want or don't want." - Zeh Suna

12- "there is a creditability problem when Microsoft keeps
     spamming after numerous persons have pointed out there
     is an abuse problem especially when there is a Master
     suppression list." - Richard

13- "My work mailbox has been pretty obscure, so it gets
     very little spam generally, and this is the first time
     I have ever been spammed at work by an organization
     that would be considered "legitimate" by some." - Errol

14- "I was getting an East Coast edition of some Microsoft
     newsletter at a nonexistent mail address on a placeholder
     website that can't send mail or browse, isn't indexed,
     and resides on a BSD box. I don't know where they get
     those addresses."
     - John Nagle

15- "Just got this from Microsoft themselves. I never
     registered with them without a plus-style trap box
     (should be tygris+ms@...) so this looks like to be a
     Washington-State Law violation. Anyone else get this?
     (Also looks like direct to MX spamming, too)"
     - Daniel S. Riley

16- "Microsoft haven't been very good about honoring their
     commitments to clean up their act. I'd say an RBL is
     in their future."
     - Jay

17- "Microsoft was even sending spam to a domain I own that
     just has a placeholder web page with no contact
     information. It can't send mail or web browse at all.
     Yet Microsoft spammed it."
     - John Nagle

18- "I bounce everything from newswire.microsoft.com. A few
     months ago, they started adding the news. to it, so I
     bounce that too."
     - Nick Nicholas

19- "There's two ways to LART Micro$haft, fusion warheads
     (too destructive to all that nice lumber), and using
     MacOS/LINUX/BeOS..."
     - Jason Crowell

20- "I HAD subscribed to about three of their lists,
     primarily developer stuff, but when they spammed madly
     about 6 - 8 months ago, I went through our contacts
     here at IU and got a PR guy, and raised hell."
     - Ron

21- "Where is Microsoft getting these email addresses? Are
     they buying them from other companies? Are they
     stealing them with stream sniffers? (They write the
     "TO" address in all uppercase.)"
     - Blornx

22- "Microsoft newswire is still spamming. Some of us at
     work got one today for Publisher"
     - Kelly Striker Price

23- "Microsoft has recently been sending me the German
     language edition of the Microsoft Internet Newsletter.
     I never signed up for anything from Microsoft, and
     certainly not auf Deutsch. Their unsubscribe procedure
     doesn't give any feedback."
     - Dan Riley

24- "My work email account doesn't get spam, was never given
     to Microsoft, and we are not registered users of
     Publisher -- we don't even own it or use it"
     - Blornx

25- "Microsoft is still Microsoft. following are my spam
     report and Microsoft's reply. Gee, how did this get to
     be so predictable, how did I know Microsoft's reply
     would say that they would take no action towards
     reducing their cooperation with this spammer."
     - Norman Diamond

26- "Microsoft got lots of press for Microsoft's pretense of
     opposing spammers, but all of that is just more lies.
     Microsoft will continue cooperating with Microsoft's
     spam partners, redirecting from g.msn.com to
     choice-is-yours.com"
     - Darwin

27- "There's no other way to stop receiving their spam...
     they won't remove you, and there's no way to LART
     Microsoft."
     - John Nagle

28- "It was the same with me when I complained to Microsoft
     about their BCentral counters that were being largely
     used in spams. They always answered with the "this mail
     did not come from Microsoft" boiler plate, and rarely
     wrote back to the followups."
     - Darwin
29- "I still get spam from/implicating bcentral.com. I
     complain through spamcop. Nothing happens."
     - Bj

30- "Microsoft has been known to send spam to people who do
     not use their junk and have never requested any mail,
     alerting these uninterested non-customers to the
     availability of patches to fix problems with MS
     products."
     - Stinky

31- "One of the best spams actually from M$ was the Y2K spam
     run. I didn't own a single PC at the time yet I received
     this email several times. Go figure."
     - Norman

32- "It's easier to just block them. I can't imagine getting
     anything, ever, from Microsoft by email"
     - Magenta Sky

33- "Now I just got off the telephone with Mike at Microsoft
    and he apparently lied to me because I just recieved a
     new spam from them"
     - Jay

34- "What does it take to stop the spam from Microsoft when
     MAPS sits on their hands?"
     - Mark Ferguson

35- "Considering how much Microsoft spams, that would be funny
     if I weren't sure they know perfectly well they'll be
     breaking the law the moment it passes, and just don't care.
     And why should they? It's not like the law applies to them."
     - Magenta Sky
