I am sure a lot of you get the adultfriendfinder spam on ICQ.. mostly being authorization requests with aff url in it.

is it a custom program or a commerical spam software or freeware ?

how could they, and by whom? ICQ messages are neither electronic mail spam nor are they telemarketing calls.

how would an ICQ user track down the sender? and what judge in their right mind would hear that case..

as long as there's a form of communication there will be a way to exploit it. period. i've already started receiving text message spam on my cell phone, that'll be the next big marketing scheme.

Well iam sure the sender can be tracked down by IP at least by ICQ..

and shouldn't ICQ be able to able to detect the same message being sent to a million + users to qualify as spam and ban the user or spam him back with his own messages ?

yes, however:

-The same message isn't being sent.. a message is selected at random from a list of a couple hundred

-Million+ users would be quite a feat for a kiddie spam program. The highest rate any of my software ever achieved was 1600 messages per minute, and that was mail not ICQ (which is lagged as all of the ICQ community knows). Even at that speed it would take more than 10 hours to reach a million users.

AdutlFriendfinder is anti-spam. We do not condone any type of activity considered spam.

Pls. send me the link that directs users to AFF so that I can investigate and take appropriate measures. The email should go to [email protected] or [email protected].

Dynamix

very slow. i coded it a couple years ago in visual basic, the worst possible language for a multi-thread spammer/mailer/etc.

Since ICQ uses TOC you could easily make a TOC or TOC2 spammer for ICQ. A couple million messages would be no prob, all you need is some proxies.
