    XOOM downside —Larry Pieniazek
   Some of us have XOOM sites. Is anyone else that does getting the volume of spam I do? It seems every day I get an offer from them to sell me something. And every day I dutifully follow the instructions to get off that list, but each of the lists has (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.publish)

        Re: XOOM downside —Patrick Gili
     Larry, You should take a look at tripod.com? This web hosting service is part of Lycos and done so very professionally. In addition, you don't have to incorporate any advertisements in your page AND your information is confidential. I am thinking (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.publish)

         Re: XOOM downside —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Thanks for the Tripod flog. However it doesn't address my question, which was "is anyone else getting lots of XOOM spam". Mike answered it: Comes with the territory, I guess. Shoulda known. Not a complaint, nothing is free! (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.publish)
    
         Re: XOOM downside —Lee Jorgensen
     Well, if you have unlimited internet access, and an extra phone line, use Monolith (www.ml.org) and set up a free dynamic domain for dynamic IP addresses. Also use Dynamo for the IP detection. If running Win32 (95/98/NT) use Apache (www.apache.org) (...) (26 years ago, 11-Nov-98, to lugnet.publish)

         Re: XOOM downside —Lee Jorgensen
     (...) Not exactly ... what I meant ... probably poorly worded, is that an extra line would help with this, but not needed. Whenever you log into your ISP, you're given an IP address ... Dynamo will check this (place in your startup), and when your (...) (26 years ago, 13-Nov-98, to lugnet.publish)

        Re: XOOM downside —Matthew Miller
     (...) Probably part of your problem is that you follow the remove instructions. A lot of spammers take a 'remove' message as a confirmation that their spam was actually read by a human, thereby making you a good target for more. (26 years ago, 12-Nov-98, to lugnet.publish)
    
         Re: XOOM downside —Mike Stanley
     (...) Yeah, but you'd kinda like to think that a business providing a service would act a little more reputably than some scumbag trying to sell bulk e-mail software. (26 years ago, 12-Nov-98, to lugnet.publish)
