134805 2003-04-11 04:41:00 Find my thread called something like "Net Send SPAM from the Internet" or something to that effect, there's a lot of useless info in there, that I am still yet to try out ;-) Chilling_Silence (9)
134806 2003-04-11 06:29:00 JM, a software firewall like ZoneAlarm free version can't stop RPC protocol (net send).

And why can't the Messenger service also stop Windows Messenger working, as it appears to be the buggiest IM app around.

134807 2003-04-11 06:41:00 Aha. One other user. ;-)

Reserve violence for a last resort. If another user is annoying you, have a word to the system administrator. If it is interfering with your work, it will be stopped. You could warn the culprit, and if it does not stop immediately, the administrator will do what is necessary.

134808 2003-04-11 07:22:00 Well a decent software firewall such as Kerio Personal Firewall (http://www.kerio.com) can block them.

Also I totally agree with Graham. The network admin will stop it if requested.

134809 2003-04-11 23:36:00 I think the key thing here is that usually, when you receive net send spam messages, it's only occaisonally (I've only received three over six months on two different computers), as the target range the use is so large. So how would you know if they'd stopped? And usually, the only thing you know about it is the source IP, which could, of course, be faked (though I'm not too sure how). agent (30)
134810 2003-04-12 03:09:00 agent: This is another user on the local network, I suspect in an educational environment. System administrators on educational networks take a very dim view of users causing nuisance to other users.

The consequences to perpetrators can be severe.
