Steve I can't receive your original posts, but I saw yours below after Cindy replied to it. YES, they don't just do that with Yahoo, they do that will ANY email domain. Sometimes I'd get SPAM on my ISP account that's been CC'd to HUNDREDS of different email address prefixes on the same domain and you can tell they are just 'guessing' at the user/prefix. Needless to say I disabled my ISP email thanks to BellSouth also selling their members' email addresses.
And yes again, Yahoo with their so called "spam filters" is total GARBAGE and a joke. They don't work, and did you ever notice that the cr*p you get on your Yahoo email addresses is among the same garbage you see in the ads on your Yahoo email member's page??!!!! Last time I logged it I had over TWO HUNDRED emails and yep, EVERY ONE of them was spam!!! Again, needless to say I canceled it. Nothing but a spam magnet. -Clint Happy New Year to all & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barngoddess" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Yes, Steve, thanks. I have a yahoo account as well and it is bursting at the seams with spam whenever I do go check it. I haven't been in yahoo! since 'last year'... Thanks again, C- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Don't forget about dictionary attacks as well. yahoo.com is a common address. So a spammer can send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] etc etc. At 12:18 PM 1/10/04 , OrpheusComputing.com wrote and said this: >They will sell them, and/or give >them to ANYONE and that's how scum get our email addresses, and >also in the case of websites their cyber-terrorist ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
