Spam

Anyone notice that he/she's receiving less spam than usual? My junk mail filter may be purging one message/day for the past few days.

Just not sure if it's something to do with my email/domain or if that spammer they caught was really that bad.

H <---may repost in O/T so more people will read it

Yeah, yeah yeah...I just wanted people who don't read every forum to see this. It kinda concerns me. Will delete soon if no responses here. Don't want GAM on my back.

I've noticed less spam in my spam box but more in my inbox.

Figured it out. I stopped receiving ALL messages about a day after I posted this. Well, not all...maybe one spam or so. Contacted my domain host (namezero.com) who informed me that my domain had pseudo-expired, and I needed to pay $100 to reactivate it + $20/year. I'm cool with the 20/year, as I usually just pay $100 and not sweat it for 5 years. Nothing on my site (just my name irl.com for email bouncing to outlook/webmail, as some of you know.) Still, it would have been awfully nice of them to alert me before almost turning my domain (which is actually my first and last name.com) public. Asshats. I just didn't feel like going through the hassle of switching registrars, so I paid it. Now I get email, for anyone who wants to email me. And ZA kills my spam yet again.

Thanks all!
