The same here ... I've been getting these messages as well. Over 200 in the last
12hrs. I'm on a DSL, but its still taxing - it takes about 10 mins to download
my mail in the mornings. I've turned off the chime in outlook too, because there
are probably 10 false alarms to every good email that comes in.
I want to change addresses, but I have a couple Ebay auctions running with this
address. And, they are my first. I want them to go smoothly - does anyone have
recommendations for this?
I'm concsidering having my admin (a friend) set an autoresponder for my new
address (with appropriate anti-harvesting measures), but allowing ebay generated
mail to pass through. Does anyone see any problems with that, or have other
ideas?
I'd like to start afresh on LUGNET with a new address that is covered under the
spam filter from the get-go.
