    Spam email

    I don't think things are as bad as they once were - the viagra emails seem to have died a death but one lot I can't keep out are Cloud Expo Europe. I'm fed up marking them as spam, blocked etc

    Any ideas ?

    I hope you are helping your Nigerian friends out with obtaining their money from the bank in Switzerland right? Just western union them the fees to help the process move along.

    Keith and I recently got plenty of spams from Russia! Freaking Russian characters! We were getting at least 30 a day! Good thing Keith got rid off it quickly!

    Hmm ... just been thinking, Rayna, ... say, instead of Keith, your husband had been called 'Ian':

    Well ... ... then he could've given 'em [the Russian s] - responsible for making you see "red" - what is unaffectionately k/a "the bums' ( x?) rus(h) ian"!

    Luckily (touch wood) I don't get hardly any spam mails at all.

    How do these people know your e-mail?

    They use an email name generator. It doesn't cost anything to send an email but if they get a .01% response they are quids in!
