Seriously When I got a message that I tried to upload my face-skin to Tony Hawk Underground and that the upload has failed, I just ignored it as spam. now I'm receiving messages like this. All things like that I'm subscribed to some gay doctor's newsletter and more stuff like that. All stuff directly pointed to me, not even spam. Whoever it is, STOP IT. You've had your fun. I haven't. So stop it. It really isn't funny. got it? _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website! Quote: I try to have fun with my friends and try to make a difference as best I can.

I use SpamAssasin. Remember too, most spambots know exactly what "dot com," "daht kom" and a thousand other variations on that mean. There's a newsletter for gay doctors? I didn't need to know that. _______________ My signature is only one line. You're welcome. |

Don't forget that e-mail addresses posted on this site register in Google and other search engines, which means that spambots searching for addresses with a similar method can find them too. E-mail addresses posted on websites are, by most accounts, the biggest receivers of spam. Disguise your address somehow, don't just post it plaintext.  Example: youraddress@yourisp.net can be mangled into: yourNOSPAMaddress@yourisp.net youraddressATyourispDOTnet youraddress at yourisp dot net youraddress(a)yourisp(.)net And so on.

I used to get lots of that kind of stuff. I think yahoo has managed to block all of these addresses or they have decided to leave me alone.  |

Well let's hope this stops now... BTW: Some sites that send you a mail when you subscribe, say "You subscribed using the IP 123.123.123.123". If that's the case in YOUR e-mails, then I think we can put this to an end! _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |

I didn't know that Hotmail has a virus scanner! Could someone tell me where this is?

Hey guys, I use outlook (and hotmail, but that's just my "all spam go here" address)...go grab mailwasher (mailwasher.com i think/hope) if you use a similar stand alone program...it's really useful, tells you what might be spam and you have the option to block the sender. Give it a week and you're fine for 6 months. Secondly, if you're too lazy and don't mind spam in your box...DON'T open it. I get e-mails everyday from Amanda 'About last night' (and I KNOW what I did last night ). Anyone else here can tell you with more knowledge, but don't open these...You'll be spending the night cleaning things up  |

Okay, Message of common good I received a mail of something really official looking, telling me about a patch for Internet Explorer which is mandatory.

normally DO NOT unsubscribe from the stuff you KNOW is spam, pills, porn, mortgages, etc.. that will just get you more and more spam, it's kind of their way of fishing for real people once they get you to unsubscribe they know there's a real person behind that random address that they happend to hit that was yours. it's safe to unsubscribe from stuff that you know is a real subscription thingy though. _______________ this is the internet, be serious damn it! |
