I was pretty cautious about becoming a 'List' member, spam being the real concern, so I specifically set up this address purely for that purpose. It lasted a little over 2 months before I started getting spam, and as mentioned here, of late it seems to have gone up a notch or two. Currently I get about 2 to 3 times more spam at this address than at my regular address, which is over 12 years old. Then again this list gets about 2 times more posts to it than I get to my regular email address. Gmail seems to do a pretty good job at sending spam to the spam folder, it's never missed one, and only occasionally does a real email slip into the spam folder. Interestingly, at the same time I set this address up I set up another gmail address, along the lines of [EMAIL PROTECTED] (not the real address because I don't want who/what is trolling this list to add to it's catch) which I use anytime a company/gov/org/survey/registration wants an email address. I figured that this would soon be bombarded with emails from 'others' who had obtained my email because they were a parent co./subsiduary/partner/co-dept etc etc, but this has not been the case. It has also remained spam free. It also only gets about 100th the posts compared to this list. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
