You are in luck!

This morning I put together a list of Internet spammers affiliated
with Sanford Wallace of Cyber Promotions.

http://www.base.com/gordoni/junkmail/wallace-domains.html

I was going to post it to Usenet today, but the news server at
Cygnus has hit the fritz.

Anyway, I would suggest you foward you request, or a simpler request
that just says "Please add me to your mailing list" to the list of
people below.
