[ga] SpamArchive.org No More? A domain squatter gotcha story, or?

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Marketing is education and education is marketing.  Spam is
marketing so spam is education?  Or now spam is good because
it is educational?

Story see:

IrishMASMS writes "Back on November 21, 2002 Slashdot announced
SpamArchive.org had just been launched. I configured my spam filters
to submit to these guys. Well, the last few I have sent rejected; giving

a 553 (sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts) error.
Did some digging, and come to find out the SpamArchive.org site is just
a
placeholder; and the WHOIS shows virtualclicks.com aka PSI-USA, Inc. dba

Domain Robot aka a Robert Farris now owns the domain. Some searching on
the net indicates the fellow is a domain squatter. Anyone know the story

as to what happened, and if the Spam Archive project is now dead? Was
the
Spam Archive project even a benefit or value added to the fight against
spam?"
