I'll probably get a slap on the wrist for this but would anyone who reads this go to this 'kin site and unsubscibe me. email address removed fro privacy reasons
I had 32 emails from them today .... Shocked

Link removed - this is a support site for Euro Software. Please unsubscribe yourself from their mailing list - SB Wink

It would also be nice if you did it every time you think of it, like every 10 mins or so ..... Rolling Eyes

Don't unsubscribe to spam, I think in spam language it actually means "send me more".

Just choose key words from the email and add a filter to have it sent to the trash.

Tx Ima, I'm aware of that ... the email address is not the one they spam to but was hoping for a sudden influx of mails to their server.
Ok so I'm a bit ziggy with them, had a bad day ..... Crying or Very sad

No problem. My catcher account has received over 1000 emails in the past few weeks, if that's any consolation.

I dont want to get into a "mines bigger than yours" discussion, my "Catcher account" has similar numbers but I'm not talking about catcher accounts.

It sounds as though he's talking about one particular spammer who's bombing his inbox.

My peeve is those spam mails that are at most one line and a link. They aren't scam (not that I can tell, anyway), but they are annoying. I don't even open the ones that look like something other than scam, but believe me if I ever find out which guestbook I signed as a provider of virtual assistant services sold my name to every fly-by-night work-at-home- scheme in the country - well -- it won't be pretty.

I used to keep a copy of a bounced email from a 550 error and just replied to spam emailers with it. See if you can find a 5.1.1 error in your yahoo catcher account.

Failing that just try to filter it out.

I use Mailwasher Pro to filter and bounce unwanted rubbish, seems to works well but the list seems to be getting longer and longer.....

Sorry to spoil the fun but us spamming them is not a good thing even though it is tempting to get back at spammers. Laughing

I removed the link that you posted since they are non-lads, and are considered an ITP (Innocent Third Party) by our rules. I also removed your email address for privacy reasons.

Spammers don't like dead addresses, so if you don't take any kind of action besides filtering, they think the had a non-active address.

That still doesn't keep a person from wanting to create a spammer blaster and send them to the moon. Very Happy

Spammers? You mean people who throw cans of spam at you? Love that! There's nothing like a good game of "Dodge Spam" in my opinion.

Oh...wrong kind of spam. Oops.
