Blocked yahoo.com mail

[Pingu]

That's it! I got totally and utterly fed up with the enormous amount of spam coming from yahoo.com email addresses, every single day :mad:

I just told the mail server to block all mail coming from yahoo.com. I can't remember ever to have received something sensible from a yahoo address, so I doubt I'll miss anything...

Got Squirrelmail that has the spamcop thing integrated.

Mind you, here's something nice from SquirrelMail's spamcop thing:
Before you sign up, be warned: Some users have reported that the email addresses used with SpamCop find their way onto spam lists. To be safe, you can just create an email forwarding account and have all SpamCop reports get sent to there. Also, if it gets flooded with spam, you can then just delete that account with no worries about losing your real email address. Just go create an email forwarder somewhere (Yahoo! has a list of places) so that messages from system administrators and whatnot can be sent to you.

Nice :rolleyes:

i have been using spamcop for over a year. it has worked great.

I just never post my e-mail address without doing it like user---@---domain.com or in a mailto tag. My site, when you click E-mail Webmaster, just rewrites the Location HTTP header to point to a mailto tag, so the user doesn't even have to see the address but their mail client can still open.

Each site I signup to gets it's own email address for me so that I know who is selling my address - for example if I was signing up to vB I would key in 'vbulletin@jamesus.com' for the mail address field. Any spams I get coming in I will be able to trace to one particular site selling the address who I can then complain to :)

Unfortunately most of my spam comes from an old address that I don't use much anymore - so I can't trace where it has come from.

I just delete spam, I'm a big boy.

I'm not gonna pay some company to do it for me.

It's not like spam is ever going to go away, and if it does it won't be because of places like spamcop.

spamcop is free. i have received lots of e-mails from ISPs of spammers confirming that the offending accounts have been deleted due to violating their TOS.

Cool.

I just have much better things to do with my time than police the internet.

If I don't like something in my inbox I delete it. I'm too old and tired to bother with worrying about spammers accounts.
