   I think the originators deserve a reciprocation of their own medicine.   
      
   I have toyed with the idea of replying to the ones that request payment,     
   and just send back a message that says, details of payment "are ENCLOSED     
   in the attachment. Password is the same as you provided: 1234"  ..and send     
   back the file.   
      
   Many of these emails are so stupid. I despise those things. There should     
   be a away to block them right at the ISP/server side.  I would rather not     
   have them delivered to my mailbox in the first place.  Why can't ISP's     
   block certain ip addresses right on the spot?   
      
   For example, I just received another blatantly stupid email:

   It would be ideal to simply filter 93.177.*.* to the bit-bucket and leave     
   my own email program alone.  I simply hate having to waste my own data     
   quota to even deal with them.

    D>system and it soaks everything up.   
      
   If I could automate a bit-bucket request to my ISP to "soak up"     
   93.177.*.*, that would be something useful for our computers to do.
