Guest guest Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hi guys, I just wrote to to see if I can be the moderator here. Our moderator is bouncing and is no longer here since 2005. If possible I will try my best to get things cleaned up so people can actually talk about what this site was designed for. Sincerely, Teri Junk Mail Work around the trash. I do every day.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 This is the only bit of spam I get -- maybe I need to contact the moderators group. I am a moderator on another group.

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 They instituted that when they started " free " groups. To pay for the service. That was years ago, and I'm not sure of the status now, but back then I think one could pay a yearly fee, which gets rid of the messages.

I > mailed the owner but it's still happening -- anyone else? > Sally Hi Sally, As far as getting a copy of emails and the advertising string, if I'm understanding this correctly, the copy you get is the normal message sent out to the whole group and always attaches some advertising to Group emails. I don't even notice them, but I see they're there. I looked at some messages from a few other I belong to to compare and they all have the same advertising string. Whether it's a visual nuisance is probably determined by the specific formatting used by a given email client program. In gmail, the formatting is clean and I never notice the ads. This is a great time to remind folks to delete that junk from their replies and only include the relevant bits! It's second-nature for some of us, but others just hit reply and pile junk upon junk!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 I don't get it on any other group. Do you get spam from this Egyptian software company every time you post? Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Change your preferences to read the forum posting only on the web, do not have anything sent to your own email. If you happen to get a spam email on your own main address, then report it as spam to your server and also block that address from coming to you again. Alternatively, change your email address and let everyone know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 If you have a Email account just hit the spam button this stops it in my MSN account I hit junk and it gets blocked. Members here that get posts in there Email should open a Free Email account and have the posts sent to this Email so there reg. account dose not get over loaded.
