What gets me are the ------- idiots that post up spam on message boards. I think the people who do this will be spammed and telemarketed for all of time in hell (or what ever comes after). For the time being though, I hope they are nibbled to death by ducks.

comcast (my ISP) and gmail. comcast is for junk, gmail is for personal, both have "filters" and comcast is the one with the spam. but the weird thing about my story is, is that i started getting spam out of the blue, I hadn't even used the computer for a week when it started

Re: What is the point of spam mail?
I`ve been using the same e-mail addy for the last 8 years and i am getting 1000+ spam mail everyday.
luckily the yahoo anit spam crap works pretty well, it could seperate 99.9% of those mails.
