Suddenly my favourite pretty spam free email address has been attacked by 1 porn company sending me link-like ads.

The like of

Freshteens for Free
Teens Cuming At You
Penis TOO big for words

etc. etc..

literally all in the past few days

now im wondering as there is an unsubscribe button, should i?, but as the auld rumour mill suggests, you reply and next week you've 10 times as much spam

its a sexxxmail@list.emailbucks.com

im pretty sure i cudda been subscribed to it by sum nerd in vengence for my little trick a few weeks ago on the poor lad, but shure!

anyway any suggestions, you think i could unsubscribe without them sending my email address to a trillion other affiliate porn companies ?

thanks for the advice...

ya try unsubscribe or even just write to the company bitch and they will take u off it.

as for the fecker that signed ya up, sign him up to stuff like learn how to cook for 20 or dressing tips for barbie, viagra., stuff like that, it is a lot more annoying than porn e-mail, everyone gets them.

Put these filter/rules in (assuming you're using OE6 and not some ****ty free web mail)

1: Where message subject contains 'xxx' or 'teen' or '$' or 'mortgage' or 'diploma' or 'credit card' or 'pussy' delete and mark as read.

2: Where message body contains 'unsubscribe' or 'opt out' or 'click here' or 'unsolicited' delete and mark as read.

Between those 2 rules 95% of spam will be caught, and no legitimate emails should be lost.

would have to agree the hotmail is especially bad for it bu for some reason my outlook collects my hotmail or it used to until i entered the rule if message address contains the @ delete

only signed up for hotmail so i could use the messenger

Never reply in any way to spam emails. An initial spam email can be paralleled to a script kiddie scanning your ports. If you have a firewall designed not to respond to scans, the kidiot doesn't try your machine again. If he gets a reply, at least he knows your PC is active. Clicking the 'unsubscribe' link (which is generally bull****) is like responding to the 'knock at the door' of a port scan. You'll often end up with more spam when they realize it's an active email account.

(sorry for the roundabout explanation

)

Just to reiterate this. DON'T follow Gideon's advice.
