He's at it again.  Robert Soloway, one of the world's most prolific spammers, continues to spam people in an attempt to portray Microsoft as a bad guy when in fact it was Microsoft who got this asshole convicted of spamming in contradiction of state and federal laws.  Except, unlike the last bit of junk mail I got from him, this time he's sending his unsolicited e-mail via connections in Taiwan.  Even more disturbing is that he's sending the messages with the "from" address equal to the "to" address.

For instance, the latest piece of filth I received from him was from me to me.  It's a bit hard to filter my own e-mail address as spam, so the brainless twit at least figured that much out on his own.  That's also likely the most intelligent thing he's done since his little spam empire fell under the weight of the law.  If you look at the header, you can see it actually wasn't sent from that address (the message ID doesn't match), but using the recipient address as the sender address does circumvent a lot of spam filtering rules since one normally trusts one's own address.  Luckily, in this case, it's my public address (attached to all of my domains), so it already gets a lot of junk mail and is heavily filtered and never used for other purposes.

Mr. Soloway is a dick.  He's a clueless idiot who continues to stomp his feet like a spoiled child, lashing out at Microsoft because they originally lead the charge to get him convicted.  He now appears to be using foreign e-mail services (such as lacsmail.com and coolgoose.com) in addition to remote SMTP relays (possibly even zombie computers) in Taiwan.  I suspect he's working diligently to keep his spamming efforts on the move so it's more difficult to track his activities.  Such a stupid little man with a small mind and no spine and too much time on his hands — and an obvious desire to perpetrate lies and scams through blatant illegal activity and deception.

I bet he has a very small dick.
