List Maintenance - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

21 Oct 2001

Mike,
I had to abandon the former world.std.com account as I was getting
between
55-60 UCE/SPAM a day.  After a while even wholesale deletes take too
long.
Whats this address your babbleling about as this address is getting on
average
3-5 UCE/SPAM a day.  This bugs me as I've taken pains to keep it out of
circulation.

This fear of spam always amazes me. I sign up at every idiot contest site I

 find on the web (I won $3 of gas from Havoline), and I
never get more than
...
 half a dozen spam emails a day out of a hundred or so
real emails on
important topics like replaceing the cord vs connector. Just hit delete, or
...
 in the case of "real" spam drop the email
into one of the antispam sites
and let the software go after the sender.
