Started Friday. There was a blast a couple weeks ago also, but that
seemed concentrated on a single address so Earthlink's e-mail block
worked. Earthlink has been singularly unresponsive to the issue. They
keep telling me I can put my account on the highest level of spam
blocking, where suspect e-mail goes into a special folder, and still
uses mail quota. Gee, what a solution...
At this point, I'd love to be able to shut off receiving attachments.
Anyone who legitimately needs to send me an attachment can find a place
to upload it to for me (like a Yahoo group).
Of course I'm going to have to jump through some extra hoops to approve
this message... I still resist using the web interface...
