Y'all would not believe what I have been doing this morning. I have been cleaning out the "Postmaster" email box. They are getting flooded with Porn Spam, some (2) idiots who used to work here subscribed to a porn site using their work email addy!!
To: RikaStrom

What's really bad is that I have to unsubscribe these people to get the emails to stop, so now I have to warn the boss that he's going to see a record of me going to one of the porn sites! LOL
He told me to clean them up and get the spam to stop. LOL
