Ok a nice story that is worth publishing.
Today i noticed another abusive refer done by a cas..no site.
But that wasnt all,they also abused the navigational options of the Mississippi.gov website.

So i though...d*** this goes a bit far abusing a gov website like this.
So thought...what the heck i'll mail them and see what comes out...
And boy they realy impressed me ....
Exactly the same day (today after 9 hours) i got the following reply....

Dear Mr. Hitwalker

Thank you for your e-mail. This spam appears to be generated via a misuse
of navigational code that is intended to provide a return to
Mississippi.gov when visitors follow external links posted on our site.
Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. Members of our
programming staff are working to prevent the code from being used in this
way in the future. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have
caused.

Sincerely,
Caren
Mississippi.gov
