Hi all,
Had that problem a few month back, I had a day 30 spams, after I submitted my home
page to search engines, I got within a few days up to 80 spams a day. I contacted
my ISP and they put me on there anti spam list, I don't understand why they don't
do that automatically for every customer.
The next day I was down to 10 spams. They also gave me the address of Open Relay
Database, a spam cop, to provide them with spam addresses, they will test the spam
and if it is proven a spammer they will put them on a blacklist which is also used
by my ISP.
You should contact your ISP to put you on a anti spam list.
The address of Open Relay Database:
http://www.ordb.org
Watch those "open relay" bannings. I have had problems sendine messages to an Astoria friend who uses Pacifier.com. On two occasions Pacifier (using those crooks at Dorkslayers) started rejecting my messages, siting my server being an open relay. My e-mail is on a university system, and no spam originates from there! We had BIG problems getting Pacifier to get its act together. Each period of rejection lasted for weeks, and I had to get someone in Halifax to forward my messages!
