It has to be said: I HATE SPAM!!!!!!!!! You can't imagine the flood of spam my mailbox receives. Spam about Mac Hardware ( I don't own one), spam about me being picked as a winner in some shitty sweepstake (I don't play sweepstakes, I make them and I hate them in real life), spam about reducing weight (I am slim), spam for woman only (I am male), spam about viagra (hell, I am potent as ever), spam about how to spam others (I'll hate this spam most).

I just had to say it. Now I feel better *g*

I think I would consider this post about SPAM on an RPG board to be, in fact, SPAM. You are propagating exactely what you claim you hate most. Thanks for spamming the rest of us Ren! d:

Well, Rend, I think it's on of the unavoidable down sides of being popular and known on the net!
There exist a program (can't remember it's name),which can keep away unwanted mail from specified senders, if it's the same senders who spams your mailbox!

My friends use to say - procmail is your best friend. If you have normal unix account, just send spam to /dev/null

Never give yahoo your alternate email address. Even if you uncheck all the direct advertising options... Every other day I get mortgage loans from somejerk@somearbitraryonlinebusiness.com!

I have pretty much the same type of set-up. Multiple e-mail accounts is the way to go. That and never give out your e-mail address to anyone but family, friends, and newsletters that swear on their granny's grave that they won't give out or sell your e-mail address. Even then, give the newsletter a junk account.

You can 'block sender' in Outlook Express. On a completly unrelated topic, I am lucky to recieve one e-mail a day.

If it would be that easy . Of course, my email is visible on the site. So harversters come and get it. I receive about 30 to 80 mails a day, app. 10 of them are spam. I receive everything from penis enlargement to loans, from "work at home" to "buy this stock", from "hi, I found you email address on a list of surgeons" to "get reich within two weeks".

And there are mails like this:

Sender:xxxxxxxx
Subject: Help!

The game doesn't start. Can you help?
X

Well, I am NOT Nostradamus, so I really can't guess which game. And actually, I am no helpline. *g*
