Read my SIG... it's getting worse.fdegrove said:Hi,
And me to you?
Bad boy Hugo, be glad we haven't taken over your humble P.C yet...
Oh, BTW, as any good bilingual Belgian, you do know what the acronym P.C. stands for, don't you?
Cheers,
Sorry, no idea what P.C could be.
Guess I'm firewalled too well...but you can always give it a try..

Hi,
Not really.
From Webster:
"Etymology: from a skit on the British television series Monty Python's Flying Circus in which chanting of the word Spam (trademark for a canned meat product) overrides the other dialogue
Date: 1994
: unsolicited usually commercial E-mail sent to a large number of addresses "
Cheers,
Not really.

1937: SPAM is born! Originally called HORMEL Spiced Ham, the company holds a contest to create a name as distinctive as the taste. The winner, Kenneth Daigneau, receives the grand prize... $100.
Other important 1937 occurrences: Amelia Earhart, disappears in her attempt to be the first woman to fly around the world; Route 66 is officially completed, total distance: 2,448 miles (that's 39 million cans of SPAM laid end-to-end!); the Golden Gate Bridge opens
cheers
PS I love SPAM, taste good!

Some time ago I changed my email address and the spams vanished but when I write my adress elvis@somewhere_remove_this_.se not everyone understand that, to remove "_remove_this_", eventhough when I write it! Therefore I have created a new address only for the web pages and after less than a week I got both virus and spam.peranders said:
I'll guess that I have to change the address once a week.

I made test account to hotmail once, i didn't put it anywhere, after couple days i was getting over 400 spam mails per day to it. I didn't select to get any advertisement and didn't put it into any memberlists and so. Address was random letter string, so it must be a) service providers selling addresses to spammers, or b) spammers send mail in "brute force" mode, just sending aaaa@hotmail.com then aaab@hotmail.com, but then they would be flooded with "undelivered post returned to sender"-mails. So it must be operators selling addresses. Nowdays i use my work mail, we have spam filter in server, so i don't get any spam to my computer
Wow
I have yahoo broadband, and I have not recieved a peice of spam yet (been on for a year now). The only crap I get is from people I gave my email address to and thought I might like to receive their "Special Offers". I guess I've been taking their spam gaurd for granted.
I know this doesn't apply, but I wish there was a simular aproach for email. When I receive junk mail with a postage paid return envelope, I stuff it full of garbage and mail it back. The return post isn't presort, so it cost much more for them to receive than to ship. I know it doesn't really make a difference, but it gives me jollies. It might if everyone did.

I had a similar problem with spam before I ceased, then reinstated, my website. On my new site, the contact email address has been added in the form of an image file. I know this means that anybody wishing to contact me has to type in the address rather than just clicking on the link but I have had no spam since making this change.

I know about the picture trick but personally I don't like it so I suppose it's the same thing for other people.
It's really easy to change just the address without changing the account at my ISP. It's a matter of seconds and replacing the the email address at my web pages is also very easy using Adobe Golive.
