email addy

[Anonymous]

MP, due to the way that mailwasher is setup on my pc I dont actually have to deal with that amount of e-mail any more, although, it still arrives in my main mailbox. I simply see the message from mailwasher saying "bouncing message 16 of 75" about 3 times a day and I get a small list of mail from domains I've not dealt with yet. Now that mailwasher has been running for a few months, that list I have to go through is now a great deal smaller and much easier to pick out the messages/addresses I do want to keep.

Hey, I don't claim AOL are the best - believe me I get tons of spam from AOL accounts. Actually, hardly any now I have blocked it all bar the folk I want to email me.

The spammers have now latched onto the Instant Messanger system for delivering spam.

For example, I got a IM notification for "prwxat" - thinking it may be a forum member I clicked accept and this was the message -

prwxat:STOP PAYING FOR POPCORN - CLICK HERE TOTALLY FREE POPCORN

So now you'll be happily surfing and up pops a notification of a IM from "LuciousLucy2003" or something equally innocent - I have reported this misuse of the AIM to AOL but they just suggest I block them using the Mail Controls.

I read that there is a guy in Boca Raton Florida, the king of spammers, responsible for sending out a billion emails a day. To put it into context there are only 6 billion people on the planet. He obviously rests on the seventh day...

Obviously they don't mind sending junk mail, just receiving it!!!
