[NTLUG:Discuss] the breaking point of spam

[Neil Aggarwal]

Steve:

I see.  I don't think email is the best way to do that.
Email can always be tracked back to the sender from
the server logs.

I don't think email can ever be truly anonymous.

Considering there are may easy easy ways to whislteblow
that are better than email, I do not think anonymous
email is ever necessary.
