Default Re: OT: Interesting Emails

Before I moved to Washington, I was getting 50-75 a day. I was in Washington for over 3 years. When I came back to Santa Cruz, I signed back on with my old ISP using the same nick since it was still available. When I set up my email account and downloaded new email......Yep, over 8000 emails and all of them spam, some of them pretty nasty spam that could have potentially caused problems, some nasty virii. It seems my ISP never deleted my original account and just reattached me too it when I came back. 3 years worth of spam, OH MY!!!
Needless to say, I asked them to delete that account and continue to use my own server account. On that one, I use 3 different email addy's and, surprisingly, receive an inordinate amount of spam at the seiv addy. I seldom see it, however, as I use a spam filter (GFI Mail Essentials) and have it set to delete weekly. I occasionally check to make sure it is not catching legit emails.

Well until i setup a new email address i got like 20+ per day. Now im getting one or two per day, which is okay...

Before I changed E-mail addresses I would get about twenty a day on average.

Now if you want to talk about volumes of useful e-mail, you should visit my dads work e-mail. On good days he gets less than fifty non-spam e-mail (you know, from people he actually knows). He's said that he's actually gotten over a hundred non-spam e-mails in one day!!!

Another defector! The Evergreen state is GOD COUNTRY! Be sure to tell everyone down there to STAY in CA. Tell them that WA is a horrible backwards hillbilly place with dirt roads filled with horse and buggies.

Please.
