RE: [CFCDev] big spam

Not even an option for a lot of users – many of us have email clients dictated by our departments.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mihai Manuta Sent: Monday, June 12, 2006 5:09 PM To: CFCDev@cfczone.org Subject: Re: [CFCDev] big spam   I think the best solution is to stop complaining and use Thunderbird or Evolution for email. I would not even have noticed that I receive spam from the list if people would not have started to complain about it. It just goes to the junk folder (that I check from time to time). >From my experience... once it starts, it never ends ... there are just too many ways you can spam...
