» Stop Spam - News and views from 2005 «

Introduction, news and views : 2005

[ 2002 ]     [ 2003 ]     [ 2004 ]     [ 2005 ]    

I was getting an unhealthy obsession with fighting spam, so my family pursuaded me to stop.

I suspect my email address was spitefully spread as, for all intents and purposes, my Ackadia mail account is useless. I now get an estimated Spam a second - about 30 million a year! Smiley Boggle!
It's difficult to check as removing the filter lets them (and attached viruses) flood in. I don't actually filter anymore, the mailserver couldn't cope. It just deletes everything on arrival. So much easier.


Anyway, I won't be fighting them anymore, but I will put in news stories I find particularly interesting.
