Today, I have received around 80 pieces of junk mail. My junk mail
filter
catches most of it very well but I still have to check it, of course.
Most
days, the number is something between 30 and 50. Is this because
Gardenbanter is reproducing posts from urg or is there some other
explanation? I'd be grateful to know of the experiences and opinions of
others on urg.

I always send the rubbish to abuse@'isp' with a note saying 'this is an
abuse of the net, please see that the perpetrator has their net access
immediately terminated'.

I have no idea whether the people do have their net access terminated,
but I
do not get all that much junk mail now.


Thanks, Alan. But does this work for people trying to sell you Viagra,
investments, tranquilisers etc?! ;-) Sometimes, I think my great
mistake
is in allowing an American boyfriend to spell my nickname 'Sacha' as
opposed
to 'Sasha'. If it was the latter I might not get the Viagra stuff at
least!

If you are getting lots of spam for specific items, it is possible to block
the headers.
