I aksed my ISP why I was getting so much spam in the form of returned
e-mails undeliverable to a Russian address, allegedly sent by me, but in
fact I do not recognise and of the addresses I am meant to have written
to - I don't know anyone in Rusia!
I sent copies of some of the bounced e-mails to my ISP, who wrote back
saying:
"Hello James
The bounce back emails and spam emails you are receiving is more than
likely occurring because your email address has been added to a spam
list. This commonly occurs when your emails address is available on
public websites. I've just done a quick search and found that your email
address is available on a few websites which you can view here
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=%22jelliott%40comswest.net.au%22.
This is going to be the reason why you are receiving the unwanted emails
to your Inbox".
I am not pleased that writing to the Moderator of the Users List has
landed me with a Spam challenge. Is there any way that e-mail can be
deleted from:

Many thanks,

Of course the fact that you posted your email on a public forum
(http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/553681.html)
wouldn't have anything to do with it being harvested by a spam bot,
would it?

I believe that eTelecom would consider giving free Internet in return
for your telephone business - phone 1300 303 217; ask for Jason, Andrew,
or Daniel; and say Jim Elliott (username: [email protected])
referred you; and that should do the trick.
