AtMail Blues, Part 3
Wed Sep 10 2003

Only 23 more ads have come in since last I ranted. Looks like the spam artists have had a slow night.

Making up for that, though, I notice that in one of my hotmail accounts that 111 little pieces of spamitis have come in today. That's a little over the usual count, so I guess it evens out.

As for monstergue's comment regarding penis enlargement ... were I to sign up for that one, it would confirm my ex-husband's suspicions, I suppose.

    Just checking in this morning and getting caught up on your entries. I am glad you had a great vacation and that you are doing fine and getting better each day.

    Concerning all that junk in emails, I get so tired of reading those raunchy subject lines. Do they really think anyone would want to read that stuff? It would be great if they could be sent back to the sender in triplicate!!!

    Have a great day!

    I purchased Mailwasher to help cut down my spam. It allows me to bounce messages back. This, i've discovered, is pointless since almost all spam comes from forged addresses. All things considered, it's not cutting much spam. :/

    I am probably inviting trouble by saying this, but I have never really had a hard time with SPAM. For the most part, the email I get is normal. I did *start* having a problem at my embrysonic address (which is why I left it) and was getting a LOT of refinance & penis enlargement emails. Is someone trying to tell me something?
