OT: Merry Christmas Reflector mail??

Question

So how did all of our "Merry Christmas" posts get into that"" newsgroup and why did I get a "reflectoremail" response?Tom

Mike Romain · Answer

Those were crossposted all over the place. I saw them on several newsgroups but only got hit here. I got the reflector and a set of spams for confirming online banking and paypal accounts. I have neither.

Like I do, you should change your accounts settings if you use outlook express and put in a fake email address.  That way there is no spam sent to you.  If someone here wants your email address they can ask for it or give theirs to you.

Come on Bill. I recently changed my ISP because I was getting 30 to 40 spams a day! It has NOTHING to do with being a wimp.

I think I was getting a lot of spam because I was using my "real" email address for posts, registrations, etc. I now use a "disposable" free email address for newsgroup posts, registrations, etc.

It's still a "real" address, but if I start getting a lot of spams again, I can just change it.

I was getting 4 mb per HOUR when the Sven virus hit. It had died down to only 1 mb an hour after a month or so. No more valid addresses. :(mabar wrote:
