Since the beginning of the year, over 150 junk e-mailers have joined The Bulk Club, an online service that offers tips, tools and a community for spammers, according to a membership list accidentally left exposed at the club's website.
Instead, the club's quickly swelling membership suggests that spammers intend to circle their wagons to protect the embattled bulk e-mail industry. To stay off the radar of antispam activists, bulk club operators typically avoid using spam to publicize their sites and rely instead on word-of-mouth referrals and search engines to build membership.
What's more, many of the club's members were newly attracted to the bulk e-mailing business, according to Drew Auman, operator of the club. According to the Bulk Club's member roster, other subscribers include John Milton, an alias used by Davis Wolfgang Hawke, a former neo-Nazi who became a penis-pill spammer.

The apparent popularity of the Bulk Club, which launched about six months ago, challenges the conventional wisdom that junk e-mailers are lone-wolf operators who lurk in the Internet's shadows, or that the profession is dying off due to recent bad publicity.
