Amazing Grace

2007-02-17 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Checking my email today after recently signing up for some of the Yahoo! Rev 
users mailing lists I found 131 spams although that mail server has been free 
from spam for years due to my careful deployment. Being on Yahoo in this case I 
had no choice but to divulge it.

I am not blaming those Lists (or Richmond) for this - I expected it and luckily 
they all go directly into the bin.

However, a solitary one got passed that system and nearly had me fooled for a 
few seconds. It was from a supposedly named REV SISTER GRACE, yes you've 
guessed, a Nigerian nun who, calmly blessing me, asked for my bank and personal 
identity info to trasfer my latest inheritance!

I just can't decide if it was a coincidence or not but it certainly avoided 
Yahoo!s filters.

All the best and watch out for this saintly soul,
Barry

You don't have a special, lose-able e-address for spam-magnets?

People shouldn't give those guys anything one wants to keep. You'll 
end up on a 2 billion addresses DVD.  Get a 'free' yahoo email 
account first.

Yahoo does seem like the worst of the bunch. Even the hotmail address
I set up specifically to attract spam has been spam-free. Meanwhile
yahoo even seems to let its own affiliates (eBay etc) spam its lists.
