    "Loving the girl next door is a great adventure Don't think too long!" I had literally no spam on my e-mail. Sometimes I got an unwanted although legitimate newsletter which I've accepted at some point and had to unsubscribe. And that's all. But like a month ago my email address went to some malicious server. Obviously I have entered it somewhere and now I'm stuck with a "hot neighbor girl". BTW this is not even true, all of them are old married ladies. Anybody knows how to get rid of that? Email addresses have seemingly random domain names. The recent one was lynda_henderson[at]profilaxrs.com.br. "Profilaxrs" looks like a legitimate site so the address is clearly fake.

    My service provider has what I consider the ultimate solution to spam. I can remotely prime their spam filter with user names, account names, even entire domains. For example entering *@*.ru in their black list bans the entire Russia top level domain. Spam from any entity in the black list is summarily deleted by their servers. It is never even downloaded to my machine.

    Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

      Trouble is that a lot of this crap comes in from Gmail or similar addresses - and you can't blacklist them or many friends will never get through. Yes, you can block individual Gmail accounts, but they change them so quickly...

      Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

        I love the ones you get from yourself. I routinely look at the email address which quickly tells me that it is junk, then I see that it is my address, meaning spam.

          So you don't think she's getting e-mails saying "Fat, sweaty, Computer geeks in your area want to meet"?

                            Do you think replying to one of those emails would eventually take me to the point where I can unsubscribe or it gets even worse?
