To Spam Or Not To Spam

[dirtygeek]

Ok, I know there is power in spam emails, and getting traffic. I've seen it.

However, if your going to do it, make sure your system is working, and your not sending the same person, the same email, 5 times in 4 minutes.

Where do we report spammers anyway? With all the new spam laws, where do we report people? Or is we just site arround and wait til the powers that be finally catch on?


If anyone from http://www.everythingxrated.com reads this REMOVE ME FROM YOUR LIST! I tried to do it, but your programs don't work.

Sorry guys. Just ranting on Monday.

:crybaby:

You know what is even more irritating than getting 5 emails from the same person in 5 minutes...

Getting five emails all with the subject and body of..

%subject here%
%body here%

The least these fucks could do is test the spam msg before they send it out

or you get all the html code....

Who do they have sending these damn emails....?

Lord, how hard is it to put 1 image in a page, link it, and send it...?

Hey andymike, I've heard that replying to spam, using the "remove me" link or otherwise is the worst thing you can do. It validates your email address for the spammer...

Tyler, to be honest i think it depends on where the spam came from im sure that is the case for some of the spam we all get on a daily basis.

In all honesty the best thing i have found to cut don the amount of spam i get to actually 'see' is Outlook it was purely by accident too LOL

Outlook came installed on my new laptop and it automatically filters out what *IT* considers to be spam from my inbox and moves it to its own seperate folder and i have to say up until this point there hasnt been a single email i needed to see hit that junk email folder :groovy:

We just opened up the hunkmoney email program because there is value in legit double opt-in emailers. And even though spam is a pain in the ass, we all got that email you quoted and I bet 2% of people actually thought it was a good site (I think that is the average %) so you can quickly see why people still do it!

Both spamcop.com or spamhaus.org are good places to start if you want to report spam, you can also get in touch with this guy's webhost or any sponsor that he is using to report it to them.
