What software do you use to send spam?
How do you build your email list?
How do you avoid detection (e.g. open relays, open proxies, trojans, throwaway accounts?)?
Do you post on any spam boards?
Just curious.

various programs, i go through a couple different programs a month.
proxies and throwaway accounts are what i use.
email lists i usually build from collecting out of AOL & AIM chats, sometimes yahoo.
i dont know of any spam boards that are up at this time, all the ones i know of got closed down. i'm sure there are plenty out there though.

so I should address you the mail bomb for the constant penis and breast enhancement e-mails?

ive never spammed for a breast enhancement affiliate
penis enlargement affiliates = make some serious money if you can afford proxies, good email lists(not already hammered by other spammers and has good deliverability), and a good mailer(something like sendsafe or supermailer)

There was an interview with the dude behind that scam. He's a 23 year old chess playing prodigy who is a millionaire several times over now. He lives somewhere in New York State IIRC.... its on Wired.com
Filthy little bastard sends out these pills with a 100% money back guarantee. He's sending out placebos basically but he honestly does refund the money if people mail back the product and demand a refund. So technically its legal (except for the spamming).
He has made himself and his sister filthy rich. He does the spamming, she packages the mail and sends them off. When the time comes he can't spam without risking getting caught then he will be able to stop and retire.

Bulkers Club was one forum I think. There were several others I was aware of but a couple of them did get DoSed to death IIRC.
