AtMail Blues, part 2.

Another nine spam deleted. The sense of satisfaction in blasting that stuff to kingdom come is brief, but significant.

What is it about this AtMail account that attracts the spam-meisters? I use it for nothing except notifies and corresponding with other diarists. I have three other accounts I use, and none of them get this quantity of spammola, even though I use those for commercial correspondence, where I’m far more likely to get added to lists.

One of the now atomized offers was for virus protection, if I could believe the subject line. What the world needs is something that protects against spammers. Indeed, what the world needs is something that traces back the spam to the sender’s valid email address (not the address he’s sending the spam from, but his real address) and then forwards the spam back to him in triplicate.

If you can stand the paradox, that’s one spam offer I’d welcome.

  1. *tries to chuckle quietly in the night like one of your other readers did in the next enty but bursts into wild laughter* the date with a 19-year-old slut was my favourite ’cause I imagined you responding to that spam e-mail.

    I get about 50 spams a day into my e-mail, a lot of them were sent through my deardiary e-mail account since my atmail inbox forwards the stuff into my real e-mail.

    I think the robots are sending me some useful spam though ’cause I constantly get offered Paxil, Phentermine and various other pills that’d be good for me to pop.
