Title: Junk Email
Post by: Concentric Eyewall on September 20, 2007, 06:15:56 PM
So I turned my Bulk folder (where all the junk email goes) off, and all of a sudden, I notice I get 2 or 3 pieces of junk email every fifteen minutes!  I checked my email at 11 at night, went to bed, then in the morning, I had received 100 emails.

I'm thinking of just getting a new email addy all together  :censored: >:D

That happened to me when I had Comcast as my email provider. I quit using Comcast about two years ago, and now I use Hotmail.

I have gmail and don't have any problems. There should be an option for email providers to block junk mail and spam.

I get a lot of junk mail involving drugs that affect the size of certain body parts (If you know what I mean).

I ALWAYS get spam on my Gmail account. <_< Luckily, it all goes to my Spam folder, so I don't have to worry about it. :)

When I had Comcast as my email, I use to get junk email all the time on it about various things. So I gave up Comcast and moved to Hotmail. I am on my second hotmail account right now and I still get these annoying messages from MSN about their products. :glare:

I was actually quite content with Comcast's e-mail. I actually don't recall having any spam at all. :no:

That sometimes happens, because it doesn't know who it's from. ;)

To remedy that, just mark it as not spam.  :sunglasses:

yeah thats what i did but to be honest, i think unless you never join here, these "reminder" emails are unecessary.

Think what you will. But I beg to differ. When I have a mere 3 people participating in LOT48's, and even then because they saw my e-mail, I feel that the e-mails are warranted. Additionally, not everyone visits everyday. The e-mails allow me to communicate with EVERYONE at ANY TIME. That was especially useful this past week when I had to let you guys know what was going on with the site.

I wanted to participate, but I have no way to record the Satellite or upload it here. I may get a tuner soon
