Spam Avoidance

[Nathan Sivin nsivin@xxxxxxxx]

Sorry to repeat the well-known, but the last thing you want to do
is reply to a spam message offering to take you off their list.
That simply confirms that you are a live one and they can sell
your name to other lists. Sending a reply to the XyWrite list is
even more futile, since it is merely the raidee rather than the
raider.

The best response to spam continues to be zapping it and
forgetting about it. Setting the spam filters on your email
program will mean you never have to see 9/10 of it anyhow.

Cheers,
