AAAAAAAHHHHHHH - MOTHER-SCRATCHING SPAM!!!

[ulysses]

Ok, so, in addition to the 60-70 pieces of spam I get in my inbox on a daily basis (gods, but I love free-range capitalism...), I've now been put on a list by some fuckwit who decided to send his shit out using one huge "To:" list. I now have upwards of 100 messages, today alone, from THE OTHER SCHMUCKS WHO GOT THE SPAM and who hit "Reply All" to try to unsubscribe...or to tell all the other schmucks to quit hitting "Reply All".

Imbeciles. We live in a world with imbeciles.

(and yes, I have a spam filter, for all the farking good it does.)

:freak:

:mad:

4. Mailwasher is my friend

It not only allows me to delete spam without downloading it, it also allows me to bounce it back to the sender as a bad address.

I :loveya: my Mailwasher!

6. Is Mailwasher free or cheap?

Free and cheap are both good things...

[geniph]

10. There's a free version

it's wonderful. www.mailwasher.net (if you go to mailwasher.com, they have the full version, which costs money).

i understand the frustration.

14. They haven't found you yet

They will, no matter how careful you are. All 7 of my cox.net IDs get spam email and I have never told anyone about 3 of them.

8. oh, good christ

half of them are automated "I'm out of the office" responses!

Someone shoot me.
