62. Roofle!!

(Much more efficient. Wipes tears from cheeks)

The obligatory genuflection doesn't count as dangerous prayer. No favours requested, you see. Still, yes... reminding Her of one's existence could be said to be erring on the brave side.

Fnord.

If I keep getting those blimmin viagra spams I will scream!

I get emails headed up "new order" or "account query" etc etc anything to try and trick me into opening it.

Couldn't agree more, bouncing spam is very effective.

I get some at work that say.

"Message for you from Olga-25yo Russian, single"

I sent then to the I.T department and said...

'Can you please block these e-mails, she is not my type'

Response I got back...

'No worries, She's not really ours either'

Never been troubled with spam until last weekend. Then all my emails to the USA started to bounce back with the note, "blocked for abuse" I had no idea what that meant so I made enquiries to Mediacom, the ISP concerned. They informed me that Maxnet, my provider, was considered unsafe and insecure. Being relatively new to computers I've no idea what that means either, apart from the fact that they mentioned spam. I now have to find a new ISP at a reasonable price. As I was also informed that more NZ providers are being looked at in the US with regard to security how does one find an ISP with a good reputation internationally?

Incidentally I emailed customer help at Maxnet, my ISP, four times. No response.

Gutted. An opportunity to legitimately make the word 'Herring' red and I missed it. Completely gutted.
That opportunity may never happy again in my lifetime.

we use mailmarshall and brightmail and spamhaus's list
seems to work mostly for us. since they are lawyers they actually get work related emails that get blocked relating to "new offer" and "viagra" cases but well, what do they know
