From the bulk mail folder

16 February 2004

This is a copy of an original post from my my old forum

With all the free email companies using stronger spam filters, I've made it a habit to check the bulk mail folder daily, just to make sure something I want doesn't go unnoticed. most porn and spam is readily identified. Computer generated subjects and senders are almost always recognizable. It used to be a majority of it had random numbers and letters as the subject, "qye6huTo9" or blatantly obvious titles like S.L.U.T.S or "free porn". And then there are some who get a bit tricky, like using your own screenname as the sender, it can be deceptive. Recently I've been overloaded with spam that will have a plain name as the sender, ie: Lori, Jill, Richard, Bob, etc. and the subject would be Re:Fw(fw). I guess thats to make you think someone has replied to a message you forwarded, and I'm sure sooner or later those random names will finally coincide with someone you actually correspond with. However as I don't forward mail (except to myself at other accounts, I know none of these is legitimate. Well the latest fad seems to make the "from" and "subject" create a message in itself. And some of them are actually amusing, not amusing enough to open them though Wink
Here's a sampling:

That might make an amusing game, lol.
 
Post a naughty word and see if the next person can guess what's been filtered out.   Roll Eyes
 
ok, here goes.  I'll start off with an easy one.  Wonder if it's naughty enough to be filtered?

Back when Hotmail only had a couple mb of space, I would let some of my addresses just "fill up".  I'd get the notice from HM that I was over the limit, but I knew that the spammer's messages were bouncing back to them until Hotmail cleaned out some of the old msgs.
 
I don't use my HM addresses much anymore;  just the Fun one that I get codes and mailing list stuff in, plus my "real name" one that my family and friends use to contact me.  I've very seldom given out my ISP provided one, just to a few friends.  (and definitely NOT to my uncle, who doesn't have a clue about BCC!  He has his own special Hotmail acct. I gave him to mail me!)
 
I REALLY like my GMail accounts.  I use one in my Passport profile and leave it on message boards all over the place and have only received about three/four spam mailings.   I will even leave it here:  mikeintexas@gmail.com
 
Hope everyone is doing fine…love to all my friends!

Mike
