[TheForge] Al McClure - Spam Blocker

Mon Jul 21 05:42:01 2003

Yes I am running a Spam blocker because of the continuous bombardment of
gross and nonsense junk mail.

I was just asking Jerry where your shop was located at that time, because my
daughter was in Alaska for 10 days on a church Mission trip, and if it was
close to where she and her husband was at, I was going to contact them about
just dropping by. They are back here in Ga now though.

Sounds like Al McClure may ahve adopted the same spam blocker that my Rev
friend has.   I and many others may be forced to adopt one similar.

Spam blockers  work several ways.  One subscription spam blocker that a
preacher friend of mine uses, sends an email reply to every "new" email
address received asking "who they are and why" they wish to be added to his
recipient list.

If a live person respondes to the email, then the Rev gets to see it, and
future emails go through immediately.  If not, the email remains simply
remains blocked, and will be deleted in 72 hours.

When I got the "Who are  you letter" from his spam blocker, I wrote a short
note, and got my usual warm responce from the Rev.  He said that his
software was now blocking upto 5,000 spam mails per week.  As I am running
about 200 spam emails per day, (spams that make it threw my  anti spam junk
mail software),   I have been thinking of purchasing the same antispam
software that he has.  At least that way those spam with spoofed and fake
return emails offering me larger breasts and bigger male parts, etc
would never waste my time deleting them.  I am running 70 to 80 percent
spam, and it is becoming quite a waste, and worse as it camiflages the good
stuff.
