Philippe...
I made a similar inquiry of this list about a month ago. I, too, thought
the list of list users had been hooked by somebody(ies). After a bit of
discussion, and some more digging on my own, I realized that I had used the
Use-Net (??) a few months back. It was likely from there that my name got
snagged.
All I'm getting now is the MLM nonsense... at least you're getting more
interesting offers!! WOW!! Porno and car parts! What a combination...!
Someone here also suggested several methods of finding some of these jerks.
I'm using Spam-Hater right now. SH digs through the offending e-mail and
sends a message of your choice to every site it came through... I wrote my
own message because the canned ones in the program are pretty childish...
HOWEVER, some of these guys are getting more "creative" and have
successfully been able to "fool" Spam Hater...
AND most of these messages offer a "remove" option. At least the numbers
are dwindling.. That's the best I can offer in the way of HOPE for any kind
of remedy.
I don't think the messages are getting snagged from this list. Just my
thoughts on the subject... And, if anyone wants a copy of the program, let
me know... I found it at www.tucows.com -- great resource for
free/share/try software...
