Image site hits back at spammers

BBC news:
 
 

Spammers are being thwarted by finding that their junk messages unexpectedly contain warnings urging recipients to delete the e-mail.

 
The alerts are issued by ImageShack, in an effort to stop spammers using its services.
 
It is replacing pictures, known to have appeared in spam, with warnings such as "Do not buy".
 
ImageShack's system is capable of swapping thousands of the spammers' images for warnings within an hour of them being reported.
