Hi ya'll, I find that there are three or four ways to best deal with spam:
#1 get a mac.com address. My mac.com addresses (I have four or five) are virtually (if not _completely_) spam free #2 use the "filter" (Eudora)/"rules" (Outlook Express)/"Junk Mail Filter" (Outlook Express) features of your software (don't know if Netscrape does spam filtering/filtering). I find that if you set up a filters with "penis", "viagra", "free", "porn", "teen", "yahoo.com" (very unfortunate b/c my primary free address is yahoo.com), "excite.com", "msn.com" and a few others (I can find my Hotmail.com list if you're interested) you'll catch at least 50% of the spam out there #3 don't have an e-mail address #4 threaten legislators and the DMA with being booted out of office and death if the barrage of unwanted, offensive, and costly (we/our ISPs pay for spam, not the spammers themselves) spam continues. At home it's possible to put up a sign that says "No bulk mail" or "No advertising" and your postal carrier will comply with your wishes (or, you can simply slap a few of the postage prepaid envelopes onto bricks and let the assholes (hmmm... assholes isn't in M$ Word's dictionary) that send you bulk mail pay for them (never done it but have met people who have :). -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
