    Don't they empty your Trash Can before deleting your older mail?
    It is not enough to merely touch the face of god; you also must open your eyes so that you may see your palm.

    Heh. 313K... what a pain!

    That's one of the things I like about KMail, the email program I use. It's got a "bounce" option that returns the email, appearing to be a "message undeliverable" error like you'd get if you sent to an invalid email address.

    I'm sure most of the return email addresses from sleazy spammers are spoofed, so only rarely does the right spammer get the "bounce" message, but it's satisfying anyway just to send that bugger back out. And it does cut out the spam from companies that aren't quite so fly-by-night. A couple of bounced emails will get you off their list.
    And I found that hope and a lucky card
    were all I had to walk with me...

    i use them because they're forever...or at least as long as they're free. if i change isps, get tired of a domain name, fall off the planet for 3 months, or whatever...i'll have my hotmail and yahoo wherever i end up. i would just have hotmail, but they just give you a whopping 2mb space. and i would just have yahoo, but as i mentioned in another thread, it blows goats.
    say "hi" to lumbergh for me

    Sorry, it's a Linux app, not a Windows program...

    Oh, and be careful, there's a Windows program called KMail too, which is completely unrelated to the Linux KMail.

    Though if you look, there's probably some Windows email program out there that will do the same thing... but I have no idea what it might be.

    That's nothing my hotmail gets 45 spams every 12 hours. If anyone wants to know how to stop baldness, what mortgage rates have fallen to, how to repair credit, add inches to the old penis, lose weight, buy steroids, or where to meet young hot teens just let me know. These spammer seem really locked in on me.

    A few months ago I had a problem with somebody spoofing our domain at work. I was getting hundreds of "undeliverable" messages a day. Then somebody recommended Mailwasher to me, a few weeks of use later, I maybe get a handful a week now. It's really simple to use (simple enough for me and that's saying something ).

    I don't think it's quite the same thing as KMail but it does the same job.
