What is spam?
Spam (also known as UCE or Unsolicited Commercial Email) refers to unwanted and often inappropriate messages sent over the Internet. These messages clutter the Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists and even your personal mailbox. Spam is the Internet equivalent of junkmail or telemarketers calling you during dinner. See CAUCE.org for resources in the fight against Spam. We are actively filtering known sources of Spam but there are bound to be some that slip through our filters. We subscribe to the Open Relay DataBase (ORDB) which maintains a list of sites that either support Spam or are vulnerable to be used by spammers. You can notify nospam@impulse.net of any abusive mail you receive. Please make sure to include the full message, including headers. For much more in depth discussion of spam, we have created a separate page, found here.
