Hi Claes,

These are e-mails that are getting through the filters. I, too, have my filters set pretty high. It is being done by only adressing to 3 to 4 people at a time.

204 spams in 24 hours...LOL, that's gotta hurt!

Not really. First of all I'm more or less asking for it by making that addie public. Secondly, I just turned the filters back on and got back to the one or two spam mails sneaking through every day. What really makes me grumpy is having to use the filters at all. :mad:

Also, I never open spam. It goes straight to the big arcihive.... Well, where ever digital things go when you purge them. Too many spam mails contain viruses.:ca:

I pay SpamCop US$30 a year to do all my mail screening. All e-mail is sent directly to my SpamCop account which checks it for viruses and against a number of 'BlackLists'. I also turn down all e-mail to qs9000.com - my first domain from years ago.

Each day I get a report from my server and over 100 e-mails to qs9000.com a day are refused. SpamCop usually traps about 200 to various addresses I have had / used.

I have one main, 'secret' account which SpamCop forwards all mail to. That ISP also has a spam trap and it works relatively well - but nowhere near as well as SpamCop.

I see a couple of SPAMs a day which 'sneak' through but it's not the problem it was.

You might have noticed I have changed almost all e-mail links on my site to my SpamCop.net account. The SpamCop in the name alone kills most new spammers so far as I can tell.

I do want to repeat that no bots can get your e-mail address here UNLESS you put your e-mail address in one or more post(s) - which many, many people have.

In addition, if YOU use the E-Mail form, YOUR e-mail address WILL be transmitted with the sent message!!!


If someone DOES use the e-mail form to contact you and you don't want to reveal your e-mail address but you want to respond, USE PRIVATE MESSAGING. Remember - If you reply using the e-mail form, it will send your e-mail address to the recipient.

That said, the safest way to communicate with other registered forum users if you're guarding your e-mail address is to use the forums Personal Messaging System.
