Title: I'm getting heavily spammed on my Amiga.org address
Post by: Cyberus on October 23, 2003, 11:21:40 PM

6 emails in less than an hour, and one email from my friend in Lithuania - I am getting really peeved now - I almost deleted the message from her by mistake because of all the spam - is there anyway I can disable the amiga.org redirection?

I understand that it is nothing to do with amiga.org, but surely if I could disable the redirection altogther, I'd avoid this current spate of spam


hmm.... SPAM....

Forgive me for my stupidity - but if I delete my email from my profile, will the nice moderators at amiga.org be able to get in touch with me - i.e is there a separate record of my email? Also, I understand it is a requirement they have an email for each user on file....

How do you know it's SPAM?  It could be a genuine offer and there's 6 horny young women out there who are new in town and want to bang you like a big base drum...   :-D

But I'd hope I'd be banging them, not the other way round  :-P
