The email address I use here is specifically used solely for aussieveedubbers, and I've started getting spam from other sources (usual ex Nigerian govt official giving away $20million etc) which I can only presume came from the members list off this site.

Can anything be done to hide email addressess to stop people using them for spam.

I'm going to have to turn off display my email address now!! :jesus

Thanks

Steve

You getting them too.
My email is a work one so it could be anywhere - but i have had about 10 in the last couple of weeks!
Saw a show on it on SBS a couple of weeks months abo from England.
The number of freaks, normal people, who hand over money!
Bloody greedy - no wonder these people do it!
Hmmm i wonder how to stop it?

Norton allows you to BLOCK certain address.
Just keep adding all the arse holes to your listing like me.

[size=4]I have been getting the Nigerian Letter for over 5 years.. every one different... and everyone from a different address... The one I received a couple of days ago was the wierdest, although I don't usually read them anymore... Just Delete them - Its NOT LIFE Threatening You know!!! - and If its NOT LIfe threatening ... don't worry about it... and After ALL .. isn't that what the DELETE Key is For .... Lee [/size]:o:thumb:thumb:bounce:bounce:bounce

i have been geting them aswell,,,,for at least a year...:jesus:jesus

I have been getting them for about a week, now I know why.:puke

We've been crawled by a spam engine, which means that any e-mail address you did have is now entered on various spam lists until the end of time.

I get about 100 pieces of spam a day. The only solution is Spam Assassin.

http://www.spamassassin.org 

About a 99.9% success ratio and I get it to delete the crap before I get it. Your ISP may be able to help you get it going.

I will look into fixing the code that displays people's e-mail addresses in HTML form.

Heh heh,
My brother and I use each others email addresses when we sign up for stuff so the other get heaps of rubbish as a consequence. Don't care if I get spam, I just delete it as soon as.

So how do I get onto that 5 million?

Ahh FB I think that was Mr Milkie Giue. I got it this morning. Picked up up $5mil this arvo. Jeeze it took up a lota room in the boot.

I've carried 5 million (a little over actually) in sapphires and they are an easy way to carry valuables - take up hardly any room!
Get him to sent it to you in Sapphires! The you can carry alll your tools too!

I remember a school outing in the late 80's where we went to the State Bank (remember when we had them?) vault.

They let us hold a freshly unwrapped from the mint $100,000 stack of the white paper $100s.

Not as thick as you'd expect. If only I had three of those right now. Pay the house off and trade the NB for a nice Lexus.

its easy to stop spam from here. just dont display your email address. fix it up at the control panel

that way I cant see ajv+aussie@...
stevesallychandler@...
dean.holden@....
steve@....
just by hovering the cursor over the email button.

andrew, I just checked out greebo.net and found a few suggestions for you. Americans need spelling lessons. the whole z vs s thing for instance. tyres v tires that sort of thing. and that melbourne is pronounced melbun not melborn..... I'll let you deal with those first before I offer more

I got 2 spam mails while typing this message!

http://saproxy.bloomba.com/  is for POP3 accounts, anything for Exchange Server or web (like hotmail) accounts?

my mate has ended up buying another car - a super charged mini (too much money)

He replaced the break pads and they scored/ruined the aluminium discs. The supplier is changing them to the newer models old fashioned cast iron rotors for free.
He has gone through 3 radiators in as many years - all failed at the same spot.
They last spent a truck load on a fancy (read expensive) auto electrician who has concluded that the building wire of an earth strap was causing too many stray currents.
Anyway another truck load ( you seen that add for Lotto where the truck is full of $$$$ - he is actually paying a Lotus repair man!) later and the car is on the road again
Hey - i LOVE the car, just glad HE pays for the repairs and i get to drive it every now and then!
