Watch out for the post that goes along the lines of:

 

'I have the same problem and I used such and such - it's really great' etc.

Me, the 13th duke of Wimbourne, alone, in the IT news section, with MY reputation. What were they thinking!!

 

Agreed with the others. This looks fishy.

Talking of these sort of things, anyone noticed a msssive influx of spam recently, and not just on this site. I received over 700 junked e-mails today, my normal amount is around 200 per day, my main email address is old, and on a lot of lists unfortunitely

My spam's not really been increasing to be honest. I seem to be maintaining a constant stream throughout the year. The annoying thing is that anywhere you look on the internet and see Joedetic, it's 99.9999% likely to be me (who else would have a stupid nick like that), so when the e-mails refer to me as Joedetic I can't work out which site has sold me up the stream for spam because they're all using Joedetic

I used to use my own domain/email and used the same address for everything and at its peak I was receiving 10 normal emails a day and 1000 spam ones. So I decided that the best way of doing things was to use my main email address for only reputable sites and to use throw away addresses on other ones.

 

Personally, I would say my main address's spam amount has gone down recently - from about 50 a day to about 30.

Where did you go Terry?

[russdev]

I hardly get spam on my hotmail anymore... had it for 8 years!! I just 'unsubscribe' to the crap they send! Or put the address on block if they are persistent.

Wow - my Hotmail is a spam-fest account and only a small portion gets picked up by the filters but my Gmail one does a good job of picking up all the unwanted mail and dumping it in the spam folder. Why does one filter work well and not the other?

who knows? Do you not think that you shouldn't be getting the spam in the first place though?

True - but I'm a realist.

 

If there are tossers out there that send unsolicited emails relentlessly I want to be able to stop them with an effective filter.

it appears that every time i got a spammed message i blocked the sender. So i have a long list of blocked contacts!

 

Yay.

Just to confirm what everyone else has worked out.

[enjay]

I agree with HBJB that GMail's spam filter is very good - I have very little spam make it to my Inbox and even less genuine email getting flagged as spam. Even when real emails do get junked, 99.9% of them are ones sent to my Yahoo address which routes to my GMail, so I guess the filter has identified that I'm not the listed recipient.

 

As for all the mailing lists out there, a good thing to do is buy your own domain - now I have an endless number of throwaway email addresses so have one for each site I use ([email protected] or whatever), so if an address gets on a spammer's list, I just need to change one address on one website.

i think you can get paid to spam forums you know...
