Those pesky Spammers (A Rant)

[BlueJazz]

I used "pesky" in the subject line cause I didn't want to violate the DU rules (and also scorch the ears off of the Moderators).

I have a server that displays my business web page and of course, receive
my E-Mail through the same server.

The @#%$&@ spammers have finally caused me to discontinue my E-Mail
program on my server. I'm getting about 45,000 E-Mail "offers" a day and found that my software can barely keep up with it and it's causing other problems also.

I'd like to crap every stinkin' piece of the garbage down their throats. ...AAAGGG!.
I mean, if I took advantage of every "Penis Enlargement" offer I received, my dick would be 500 feet long!

(Rant over) :)

1. Welcome to the world of anti-spam

There are a couple of websites that you might want to take a look at:

http://www.spamhaus.org
http://www.cauce.org
http://www.spews.org
http://www.spamcon.org

Just a few starters -- you can regain control of your mailbox, just have to have a little know-how.

I was just speaking with a friend of mine in Canada, and he has a unique system of disposable e-mails (good for up to 7 days) to use and also keeps a personal e-mail only to friends and family, and leaving the remaining addresses as invalid.

I'm thinking about doing it the same way...

2. YECH...

I HATE those a$$holes. :puke: I get dozens and dozens of them on my main mail account, which I can't change for various reasons. :-( :argh:
