Though Cassie does have a good strategy of not using his real email address for <cfaussie>, it's how I started getting spam when there was that glitch with the archive web pages grr...

Eeep,

Cheer up charlie (or Cassie) :)

I was merely trying to clarify why your message appeared to be spam - and I will say that since were in sunny Oz and it had Brisbane mentioned somewhere, makes it much less spammy than most I get, which tends to come from russia, the US or china.

On that topic: I think the worst you could do is send an email with the subject "mine.zip", no body, an attachment called "mine.zip" containing two files: mine.exe and mine.c and send it from a webmail address you don't use much. (which I did this morning and miracle of miracles it actually arrived, and was seen just in time with a spamassassin rating of 97.7)  From the recipient I recieved an email "how to make your mail look less like spam" which I paraphrased for you previously :)

Cheers,

James

PS Sorry for noising up the list but having problems getting in 'the zone' today so I'm fighting spam on our mailserver.

Give it a rest.

My name is Cassie.  I am a contract developer.  I just forgot 
to put "from
Cassie" at the bottom.

I don't use my "real" address on this list because I don't 
want it getting
on any lists I don't want it to be on.  I keep this hotmail 
address as a
junk one.  I was offered this contract job but was too busy, 
so I thought
someone else could benefit from it.  Excuse me for trying to 
be helpful.

I didn't include company details or spec because the client doesn't
particularly want every development firm in the country 
knowing what they
are doing and having copies of their specification documents. 
 Anyone who
emailed me was given full contact details and a spec.

If you're not interested then just delete it.

Although having a numerical name, no given/surname, a hotmail 
address (with
same Australia1976), giving out no details and not even 
signing your name or
anyone elses at the bottom of your posting is a pretty good 
way of making
your post look like spam.  Next time make the subject "Re: 
Your Message" and
that'll pretty much complete the picture.

Have fun (it's Friday)

- James

Well at least he states where it is (Brisbane). Many ads
don't even give
that much info away.

I'd ignore "anonymous" job postings.

I think they are just an excuse to get email addresses.

If an employer is serious about getting input regarding Jobs then
there are appropriate forums for this (such as th CF JOBS 
      
list) and I
    
would think - if you REALLY want to attract attention - you should
name the company (at least) if not the job spec (or a place to find
it).

[PS - ABN AMRO Morgans (in Brisbane) are currently looking at some
contracting positions that will soon be required - these will be
advertised on CF JOBS]
