Babi 0 #1 October 10, 2006 I don't know where it would be appropriate to post this so ... I've been receiving some viagra promotional emails to my DZ e-mail address. Is there any way to stop this??. Is this not a miss use of DZ email accounts?? Is there a filter installed for unwanted email?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pia 0 #2 October 10, 2006 I also get them.. but to my hotmail account. I don't know what to do either as I've never been on any sites or done any research on viagra **Those who refuse to live and learn simply exist** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFXpert 0 #3 October 10, 2006 I delete about 75-100 junk e-mails a day on this address. Some are through no doing of my own; others are b/c if I have to use an e-mail address to sign up for something (like Kodak Easy Share most recently) I use this one rather than my personal e-mail address. When you sign up for things, look for little boxes at the bottom that are automatically checked to "receive e-mail updates & offers from affiliates" and uncheck them. When you receive junkmail, scroll to the bottom (if you've opened it) and there should be an "unsubscribe" link. I just do a mass delete every day which takes about 30 seconds. I don't like to open junk mail. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaM 0 #4 October 10, 2006 I have a yahoo account that I use as my email address when I buy stuff. Therefore most of my junk mail goes there but that is all I use it for. ~ Lisa ~ Do you Rigminder? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's the fastest way I know of to get MORE spam, as they now know your address is valid Do not ever reply to spam, period. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CygnusX-1 43 #6 October 10, 2006 I've even gotten spam on an email account that I have never used and never told anybody about. It is also not a common address that someone could guess (random set of numbers/letters). Figure that one out. BTW, I set it up just for this reason. I was curious if I would start getting span on a bogus account. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pia 0 #8 October 11, 2006 I've asked people not to. Luckily I don't use my hotmail address for much, Just JSC stuff.**Those who refuse to live and learn simply exist** Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
