Could someone define what spam is for me? That is is there a dictionary definition for Spam. I thought spam was sending e-mail that someone is trying to sell me something or someone sending me repeated e-mail even when I have asked them not to. Get your own FREE E-mail address at

I'm sorry I didn't know the situation. It sounds to me like this was not a mistake. I have made mistakes sending mail. I would apoligize for shure plus it would not be multiple or bulk. You are right that the newbie list is not the place for it. No place is the place for SPAM. Get your own

I can't find sndconfig on my system. Can I add it?(mandrake 7.2) Also I'm wondering how is it that people get spammed? The only time I have been spammed is when I went to a chat room. Going to chat rooms seems to be a way of saying come on everybody spam me. Is there other ways someone can leave
