SPAM - 27/03/2002 19:19
I know I get alot of SPAM, but I never really paid attention, I just delete delete delete. I have a couple of accounts with my ISP and I had forgotten that I turned off forwarding from one I rarely used for an address when it was required to sign up for things I knew would generate SPAM.
I logged today to make sure there was room for someone to FTP a 25Mb file, and lo and behold 2000 messages since late November! And that's from a rarely used address... I couldn't begin to count the amount I get at my regular addrress. Deleting 2000 messages 20 at a time thru a web based system is tiresome, but I wasn't at home and was unable login directly and get them all. The interesting thing was the pattern of the subjects, it was like the SPAM of the Month Club...
Anyone else ever keep track of the amount of SPAM they get?
