    Is everyone else getting the constant spam to their email accounts from lots of charities? Is there any way to stop this? We dont get a spam filter so is there any way I could block messages coming from the all students mailing list? Is there anywhere in the university I can write to to complain about this?

    It is rather annoying to get constant reminders, the problem is that people normally don't check their college emails nor do they have them forwarded to an email address they actually use, so announcements like this get lost in the ether.

    With that in mind, it makes no sense to keep sending the same email every day.

    While I would love to have the time to help those less fortunate then myself, I would rather not be the person who sends the emails out....
