Follow up to SPAM!

It really pisses me off when I open up my mailbox and I find a message that that doesn't belong. What's worse is that the message is coming from a big reputable company like excite.com. I use my email address for business only and no commerical services nor signing up for anything.

Today I got this:
We're offering new flat rate local and long distance unlimited
calling plans for 0-cents per minute, from just $69.95 per month.

Click here, call toll free 1 (866) 328-0417 or see details below.

With our choice of 0-cents per minute calling plans, you can now:

Make unlimited calls for a fixed flat monthly fee.

We at ITT Unlimited are very enthusiastic about our flat rate service, and sincerely hope that you will consider giving us a shot as your long distance provider. We're sure you'll be thrilled at the quality of service, as well as the savings!
However, we do not want you receiving e-mails that you are not interested in, so to have us permanently remove you from our list, email [email protected] with the word "remove" in the subject line. We guarantee you will not receive any future e-mails from us.

Thanks for your time and consideration!


Of course I immediately wrote to [email protected] with REMOVE in the subject line, and as guess what, the email kicked back.

Reason: <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Quota Exceeded: This user has exceeded daily message limit. Please try sending your email at a later time.


Guess i'm doomed to be spammed from excite.com cuz their remove account is overflowing. Wonder why! =)
