I once made the mistake of posting an online ad for a relative in a tight spot, been getting spam at least daily for the last year. Once your email adress is confirmed as valid, it never seems to end. So I learned to read headers, and many sender's accounts have been deleted. :) TJ -----Original Message----- From: plug-discuss-admin@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-admin@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us]On Behalf Of arson smith Sent: Monday, February 14, 2000 15:47 To: plug-discuss@lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us Subject: am I just naive about spam Not so much linux related but still I felt I needed to vent somewhere any you guys should understand where I am comeing from. I was getting an occasional spam email like maybe once a week when I decided that I should go ahead and fill out the stuff to be removed. as soon as I did that I don't know if they decided wow I have a real address here. now I get 3-10 spam messages from porn-home bussnes- loan-everything else crap. I never understood why people complained so much until now. I don't know if it is from the place I said to unsubscribe me or if they just sold my email to everyone else in the world??? arg!!
