Its not the hundred or so junk mail I get everyday.

Its the ones that get through my personal bull filter.

As I was scanning down the list of junk mail in my spam folder before
deleting it all. I saw one that looked like it might be fishing related.

Creaming Hot Worms.... Wow! I almost broke my finger hitting the delete
button.

you're still lucky. I'm starting to get them on my cellphone..and seeing how
Ive never given anyone, or used my cellphone email.....its just kinda
weird...sucks when that little letter thing pops up and I think I have a
voicemail and it turns out to be a viagra ad though.

(I'm using sprint...anyone else having this issue lately?)

Hey Bob

Creaming Hot Worms- still laughing.

I know you did not ask for a solution to your spam.....
I have a good client that was plauged by spam. His current solution is Spam
Bayes and likes it. I use it but get a lot less spam than he does.
Google the web site to get the info. It is free and seems to work well.

Just a suggestion
best wishes.

The wife had Sprint PCS for a while Rich, and we dumped it when not only did
she start getting spam email on her phone, but started getting spam phone
calls (telemarketers) to it as well. Unfreakin believable if you ask me. She
never gave her number to anyone that I or she was aware of either...

We're both on Verizon Wireless now and no spam or telemarketers either,
knock on wood.

Since I elect to suffer along with the webtv thing, I have no
options...I get about 20 spams a day. I get so many viagra, and penis
enlargement spams, I m begining to feel "inadequate" grin.

Why question is.... Why do they care how big or small my penis is? If I'm
happy with it, and my wife hasn't complained... then who else should care?

Hi Bob,

I find that I get almost zero spam.
My Hotmail account just started getting a tiny bit.

Here's how I avoid it:

Pick a name that is in no way common and use a couple of underscore symbols
like say: ).
The Spammers use software that combines letters and numbers so stay away
from cute and common names.

Use 2 emails.
One for online stuff like a Hotmail, Yahoo, or etc...
Your provider email account should NEVER be given online, except to trusted
friends, and always name this address' unusally too.
When emailing more than one person ALWAYS use the --Bcc:-- function. This
makes each receipient "invisible" to one another thus lessening the chance
to get on a SPAM list. Encourage others to do the same.

Oh yeah--and NEVER, EVER respond to SPAM because this will validate that
your address is active, from the spammer's viewpoint, and then you will get
flooded!

Hope this helps

Please smudge your email address correctly, then. Right now all your spam is
going to a valid domain name. I'm sure you would not want someone using
_your_ true email address as their smudged address.

oops, I didn't catch that.
I think it is not an active domain but I changed it just in case.

Smuged it with underscores.
