Dealing with spam
I think I suggested that we find examples and useful links
for new Puppys
For example how to get rid of spam (deleting is the quickest way) and using an on line email client such as http://www.mail.com/ (but then they have ads - so you need firefox-adblocker) who block most spam
One neat trick is when you have to provide an email address to a web site for no good reason (other than being spammed by updates, and "partner" spam)
Pah!
you could set up a spamgourmet.com account
then you can provide an address such as
Microsoft.3.puppy@spamgourmet.com
the first part is a new name
the 3 is the number of emails this person/account can send to your provided address and puppy@spamgourmet.com is your account forwarding service
(free nice - it works - used it for years)
anyone use the rule based SMM prefilter in Puppy? _________________ Puppy WIKI
