email problem.

**Terry Seyforth** · 09-11-2006, 09:48 AM

Hi I have a small problem with a email.
I dont know what to do to stop it.
It doesnt do any harm but it comes daily.
It seems to be a option for buying shares. I dont remember subscribing to this site.
If you put a block on the email, it sends it under a new name.
Daily.
Any ideas, I have forwarded it onto a site that stops the cycle, but it hasnt worked.
I will paste the email below.

sorry it wont copy , clever, well any ideas about removing the link ?
Thanks

I've been getting that email for the last few weeks. I use Mailwasher which recognises it as spam and deletes it. You could set up a filter if the messages all contain the same text or use keywords like 'stock' or 'shares'.

Ok thanks I will try.

Welcome to the club. I see multiple copies of those in my Junk folder every day. My domain email stops about 200 SPAM messages a day, it would really be a PITA if all those got through too!

I just started getting those recently as well. The problem is that they come with a different subject everyday. One subject could say "car" while the next will say "color wheel." It's pretty annoying!

Yep, and there's absolutely nothing with today's email technology to totally block them. The best you can do is apply a combination approach of SPAM shields to reduce the amount you get.

I too am getting those at home.
Also seeing them all over the work computers. Spammers like this never use the same address twice.

I'm sure if you haven't seen it already, you'll soon see bounce messages where an email from some strange name and your domain was refused. I get about 10 of those a day nowadays. Obviously, the SPAMERS found my domain name.
