Janet, Relax. This is a very common problem with America Online. How are you reporting it to AOL?
What you need to do to report it to AOL is if that mail is coming from other AOL members you FWD it to TOSEMAIL Just Type TOSEMAIL in the "TO" box and if the mail is coming from outside of AOL , put "TOSEMAIL1" in the "TO" box and press send. Unfortunately what happens is that the spammers will harvest valid email addresses and just continually send spam about pills like Viagra or others or porno or some other thing you don't want. AOL is supposed to be cracking down on this, But I'm afraid the big production that My Governor gave at the AOL headquarters still isn't going to be enough. They nailed some big spammers from North Carolina, but it isn't going to curb the problem over night. I agree, the spam is nasty. I have spam filters and virus filters installed on my browser and mail client so if the it is not a virus the spam filter will capture a lot of it. I hope that this info I have sent you about AOL is useful to you. It is AOL's policy on reporting spam. They do not conduct follow ups on it. TOS is an acronym for "Terms Of Service" Be blessed, Iron Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 18, 2003 10:10 PM Subject: [RR] WARNING > I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING VILE E MAIL THAT LOOKS LIKE I SENT IT TO MYSELF.
