Filth.

My inbox is full of all this filth and junk mail. Is anyone else getting an unbelievable amount of spam from ILE. I can't think of anywhere else I've put my address. It's very annoying. I am averaging 3 to 4 mails a day so unless someone signed me up for something sordid then it must be spam from here.

Anything I can do to get rid of spam? Pref. for free. Anyone else having this problem?

Since I changed my email address to this one with my full name in it I've been getting a huge flood of junk mail to my Hot Mail account, offering teen porn, DVD burners, debt consolidation etc. etc. As IL* is the only place on the web that I post this address I'm presuming it comes from here, somehow. At least w/ Hot Mail you can filter out most of the junk mail before it reaches yr inbox.

I've been getting loads more too, strangely the same ones to both my work account and my hotmail one, which I find worrying as I never put them in the same places.

Lots this week to this hotmail account, but also a marked increase to my yahoo account which I rarely give out (SexiMandi seems particularly communicative), so I doubt it's just ILE-related. God, I rue the day I ever bemoaned my relative lack of email spam.

No Ellie, I've been spammed by sex mandi too - from many addresses.

― Anna, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

She just won't take no for an answer.

― Ronan, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

mandi has tried it on with me too. but most of the spam i get goes directly to the address i use norfolkwindmills to forward to, it doesn't come via gareth@norfolkwindmills.com, so i just change what i forward it to every now and then. i don't get much spam to this addres at all, just that hip hop alerts thing

― gareth, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yeah, I've got a bad case of the Mandi's too.

― chris, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I have set up a v.v.elaborate filter system to screen my mail. Alas I should just trash all of it as I rarely get anything for me.

― Graham, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Maybe this is Tom's experimental viral marketing thing

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If you open the e-mail, Mandy turns into Cindy.

― Anna, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's like the frog princess. Well.....a little.

― Ronan, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I checked the messages as they were coming down, and they were all for email addresse i only use for ILx. Fuckers (literally & figuratively) i will have to suss the killfile function. Has anyone complained to yahoo?

― Norman Phay, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

poss someone has been using a mail addy harvesting program on the grrenspun boards. has anyone been in touch w/the greenspuns abt this?

― Norman Phay, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mandi just spammed my outlook, I've only ever used it a couple of times on these boards. Someone must have got every e-mail address in greenspun or something.

― jel --, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If you're a moderator LUSENET allows you to harvest e-mail addresses very easily. This is one reason why I asked people to use an e-mail address they didnt mind being on the web for the FT thing, by the way.

― Tom, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mandi just spammed my outlook

Sometimes, I weep for my generation.

― N., Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

get hip to the lingo daddio!

― jel --, Monday, 4 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Mandi and Cindi are in touch with me too. Naughty little minxes - I didn't realise they were spreading themselves so broadly.

And I thought it was just for me...

Joking aside, anybody got a clue how I can stop this?

― misterjones, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah I'm getting about 8 a day.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I know I said 4 yesterday, but I've got 4 already today so I figure dear Mandi is getting a bit single white female on me.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had four on my work e-mail amd four on my hotmail this morning, the little bitches.

― chris, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am also getting mandi emails, really i am the token cocksucker, when will they learn , when willthey ever learn ?

― anthony, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Where have all the flowers gone?

― Andrew L, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That is a nice feature of hotmail, the filtering out of most of the junk mail. But I always have to check the junk mail folder before I delete everything, because it has been putting some legitimate email from friends, etc. in there.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had four from Mandi too, and one from Cindi69 @hotmail.com.

― Anna, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Yeah I'm thinking of asking Cindi out. She's nice in a less brazen way than Mandi.

― Ronan, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I had four today too. And she's not even sexy. Bah Mandi/Cindi.

― Pete, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

cindi hasn't mailed me in months, i think she has gone off me. mandi is getting real persistent though

― gareth, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

How do you know Mandi/ Cindi isn't sexy?

YOU'VE LOOKED HAVEN'T YOU?

Unless you think that calling yourself SexMandi is too brazen and desperate?

― Anna, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was reading this going blimey whats all this nonsense it can't be that bad. And then I checked my e-mail. Attention!

― Tom, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I-I-I didn't look on purpose. My computer clicked on the link by itself. Honest guv.

― Pete, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

My computer clicked on the link by itself.

Officially the lamest excuse evah.

But Mandi/Cindi doesn't have to live in your house of cheese so no harm done.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I'd really like Mandi, Cindi and all their fluffy pals to stop mailing me, just cos I use myweb based mail at work a lot and I don't want anyone sneaking up behind me and thinking I am anything worse than an internet loving workshy fop.

So - do I have to ditchmy free emailaccount and get another? I'd rather not, as everybody Iknow uses it to get in touch with me. Is there any way I can stop cindimandy's sexy fun?

― misterjones, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is there a way of blocking a sender with your email? That might help cut it down.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You could give the jezebels what they want. Couldn't you?
