[lace-chat] Moderator off-line until Sat pm

2007-09-12 Thread Avital
Gentle spiders,

I will be offline from a few minutes from now until Saturday evening after
sundown, for the two days of Rosh Hashana (Jewish New Year) followed by
Shabbat/Sabbath. So if you want to flame each other with gleeful abandon, now's
your chance! Just kidding.  Have fun while I'm gone.

And for those who are celebrating, le-shanah tovah tekhatevu vetechatemu.

Best wishes,

Avital

Re: [lace-chat] what to do with spoof messages?

2007-09-12 Thread H. Muth

Hello Alice and all,

I use Mailwasher  http://www.mailwasher.net/  which is a free little 
program that reads my email off my isp (internet service provider) _before_ 
I download it.  I can scan the subject lines and even preview the content 
(not html).  This is where it gets great.  I can then bounce the email back 
to the sender without opening it.  It then looks to the spammer like it was 
undeliverable and they take my name off their lists.  I have had this email 
address for almost a decade and get very little spam as I bounce it back.


I also only use this email address for personal mail.  When I enter 
contests or respond in any way to something online I use my hotmail or 
gmail accounts.  One of my hotmail accounts is almost a decade old too and 
only recently has the spam level increased.  Usually their filters catch it.


http://www.spamcop.net/   Spamcop is a reporting site.  I believe it only 
takes registering with them and if we all reported it soon spam levels 
would drop.


Hope this helps someone.

Greetings,
 
I received a spoof message from a so called lawyer in England, saying that a 
long lost relative had died and I was to inherit over a million dollars.  I 
could tell that it was a spoof because the grammar was terrible.  I called the 
Central Intelligence Agency.  They told me that there was a lot of that sort of 
stuff going around and to just delete it, do not respond to it.

I just delete them.   


People who don't want mail shouldn't have e-mail accounts.
