And you can look in the message body. Anything lacking a sales pitch or even link is probably just a typo.
Me, too, annie... I've used mailwasher for years to bounce spam back to the sender. Recently, it has become erratic about bouncing- can't figure out why, but often as not, it won't bounce spam-- so I am trying this one, which seems to bounce reliably:
IncrediMail - Email has Finally Evolved
Backgrounds for your Email IncrediMail lets you take full control over what your emails look like. Select from hundreds of email ... www.incredimail.com/ - 13k - |
The install is fairly automatic, it imports your accounts, and reading the furnished tutorials will explain how to filter and bounce spam. Some folks claim you shouldn't bounce the garbage, but it gives me great satisfaction, anyway.
Thanks, BH!
They should all be triple fined for lost time and damages, frog-marched to the public square, stripped, whipped, and then chained to the whipping post for a week, and made to trim the grass-- one blade at a time, with manicure scissors.
All while wearing a shirt saying "I was a CyberVandal."
Anyone idiotic enough to respond or do business with a spamvertised lender, however remotely, is too stupid to have a house, anyway. I don't want them as neighbors.
Wired did an informal study on this once (actually responding to spam), for the most part, things were either scams or no response -- the latter was apparently a way to verify "hot" email addresses to sell to other spammers.
Oddly enough, Wired found that porn spammers generally were the most "legit", in that they were in the business of providing exactly what they said they would far more often than other types of spam...
But that entire industry assumes that most "customers" would be hesitant to complain when scammed.
I recommend that he get drawing and quartering.

In the couple of days I've bounced spam with Incredimail, there has been a noticable drop in the amount of spam coming into my Junk mailbox. It seems to be doing some good.
I still want to see the vermin crippled financially, jailed, horsewhipped, and humiliated.
I thought I read on another thread a day or two ago the IncrediMail was a spyware.
Am I mistaken?
I want something to filter out these e-mails. Until a few months ago I only had a few per week. Lately I get about 5-10 per day. Really sick of it.
I've set up filters for .de, ru.,au.,as., etc. but the next day I get a stack from a new source.
Making me crazy.
All I can tell you is that MSantispyware, Ad-Aware, and Spybot don't say a thing when scanning it. For whatever that's worth.
