OT: Interesting Emails

[AgentZero]

I've got me a lovely little Yahoo account that only gets 5-10 spams a day & Thunderbird's junk filter handles most of those nicely. On the other hand, my hotmail account, which I use whenever a website asks me for an email addresss, gets 400 a DAY. Doesn't bother me though. Just cruise through every so often and delete everything. Easy peasy.

If anyone out there wants a Gmail account I can send them one. I have six to give away. You could start a gmail account anew and probably have it free from spam for some period of time provided you're cautious/diligent in not giving it out to websites or skeezoids...

Just send me an email, and I'll send you the gmail account invite...

thanks,

Alarik

Warning: As I have posted before, the word 'on the net' is that MS actually does harvest the email addresses of people you send Messages to and they get sold to various 'commercial' concerns who can then pass them on to spammers. The spammers just buy regular commercial lists If you ever receive email from other people who have hotmail accounts, you know where the spammers are getting your address.
