Mistake #1 is responding to their "remove" address. Never do it. That's often a simple way for spammers to verify existing addresses. If you responded, you exist. That makes your email address more sellable.

Sure, you still download them but you never have to read them or even click Delete. If you can get the Earthlink thing going, it'll probably do you some good. -- Bill Christensen http://greenbuilder.com/contact/ Green Building Professionals Directory: http://directory.greenbuilder.com Sustainable Building Calendar: http://www.greenbuilder.com/calendar/ Green Real Estate: http://www.greenbuilder.com/realestate/ Straw Bale Registry: http://sbregistry.greenbuilder.com/ Books/videos/software: http://bookstore.greenbuilder.com/ -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
