Damn You Spam!!!

Darksamurai · 15-April-03, 01:34 PM

I decided recently that it'd be kind of cool to start using my "darksamurai@angelfire.com" account again....

I turned it off roughly 3 months ago at "High Protection" to ONLY allow people I've given permission (which is nobody).

I figured after a couple of months had gone by, they'd get the clue and take me off their lists...

WRONG. Within a week, those ****ing spammers filled my account from 10 emails to over 500 and pushed over the top of my 4 megs of space...

This SUCKS! My Angelfire "Block" list is already over 2000 e-mail addresses long... give a guy a break already!!!

Red02 · 15-April-03, 01:40 PM

Whoah... AOL actually did something that didn't piss me off!

Wow... if that's not a sign for the end of the world, I don't know what is!

Gladiator · 15-April-03, 02:16 PM

Aol has been trying to improve.
Their new servers are running Unix under fiber.

I can download off any aol server at any time at around 600kbps without it slowing down and I am only on 2mbit cable.

Faster than the microsoft site.

Maybe one day, if aol would to lower their prices, aol would be a great.

Sportbilly · 15-April-03, 03:32 PM

Strangely my wife gets piles of junk in her hotmail inbox, and I get about 5 a day usually directly filed into my bulk mail folder by yahoo.

<----- Happy Camper

Up Yahoo!! (And it's not like I don't it let be seen on some forums or anything either, it's my main (well ONLY) email account...

NapalmStixToKidz · 15-April-03, 04:04 PM

i watched that movie scape... omg... poor guy!!... hahahahha... good find

Red02 · 15-April-03, 07:03 PM

i watched it too poor guy god that must sux

Iateronmly · 15-April-03, 07:30 PM

I keep a yahoo account for junk account - if a site demands an email to get access to, I use my yahoo... I was grandfathered and still have a free 6 mb yahoo account, and it maxs out every other day. No spam on my other 4 accounts thought

DuckWarrior · 15-April-03, 07:48 PM

I keep the yahoo account as my main, it has the best filters.
Hotmail has the worst. Especially since MS sells your email as soon as you sign up.

scapegoat · 15-April-03, 07:49 PM

LOL... get something like 300 pop3 emails with my domain name, so i just set up a spam@mydomain.com , and just kept changing when it got too full

Lokie · 15-April-03, 08:55 PM

Scape that was bad. How'd you come across that movie that was too funny.

Iateronmly · 15-April-03, 09:40 PM

DuckWarrior - I have found the opposite to be true. I never get spam on my MSN account and I've used it for over a year now, not a single unsolicited email. Yahoo's filter only snags 30% or so of the spam email sent to it.

BigAkita · 15-April-03, 09:43 PM

You have an MSN account....and in over a year you have never receive a single piece of spam....not even from Microsoft....

You have never in that entire year received a single piece of unsolicited email...not even from Microsoft.....

And I have some ocean front property here in Kansas you may be interested in.

Do you actually expect us to believe that? Do you honestly expect us to believe that out of the hundreds of thousands of people who have MSN accounts that you are the only single person on this earth who never received a single piece of spam?

GTFOOH.

BigAkita - I honestly haven't got one single piece of spam email on my msn account. I don't get why that is so hard to believe, but it's true. Nada, zilch, not a single spam email.

Edit - I was stupid enough to subscribe to MSN features, but removed it from my options and never had a problem after that point. Since that was a selection process goof on my part I don't count it as spam.

Red02 · 16-April-03, 12:05 AM

o come on man. msn is a part of m$ which is all about the money. so therefore they sell it like ba said. i signed up for a hotmail account and with out even telling anyone about it im getting spam. i just opened it use msn mesg. to talk to friends. no one else knows it. explain to me how they got it.
