Has anyone else noticed repeated emails from the same advertisers to the point that their email account limit is reached? Who comes up with these moronic schemes? Gee, let's bombard potential customers with email ads until their accounts are overloaded, thus pissing them off in the process, and hope they consider using our business (heavy sarcasm)! The only thing it gets them is on the blocked list. However, it is annoying as it shuts down the email account for a while.

The scary thing is the spam actually works! Incredibly well in some cases. Think about it. Spend 2 minutes typing out an email, send it out to 300 million people. If 1 in a million respond, you've just made 300 sales.

It's the same concept as all the junk you get in your real mail box, just that email is waaaaaay easier and cheaper to send. Most people throw their junk mail in the blue box before even looking at it, but there have to some people who look at at, otherwise companie wouldn't be spending billions of $$ a year to send them out.

And don't get me started on how effective telemarketing is...

whatever you do, don't respond to the link in the spam that asks them to remove you from their mailing lists. They will, but you'll appear on many other lists as an active email account.

You wouldn't believe the junk agencys get... I just keep blocking the senders and I have noticed a slight decrease in the amount of junk mail I get. It won't stop them entirely however it does seem to help a bit...

block em!

I dont waste the time to look for the link to have my addy taken off their list, Its a lot faster & easier I think to just block them,
Question tho, how long does this block work for? till a server crashes? is it in cookies? where is the info held?

Spam is one thing, but I'm talking about repeated emails of the SAME ad until your account is shut down. That's hundreds of emails! Each of them the same ad from the same idiot. Imagine getting hundreds of phone calls from the same telemarketer asking you if you want to buy the same product each time! Or receiving hundreds of the same snail mail ad in your mailbox! Either these people are idiots, or there's something else going on here.
