Ok,
Now Ive had it.
Spam has just about taken over my computer.
Every day I get 40 to 60 spam emails.
That and 10 to 20 legitimate emails.
The signal to noise ratio is now deafining.
Since I dont subscribe to other list servers, or USENET,
and dont frequent porn sites, the spammers are mining my email
and most likely yours too from the alpine archives.
T.J., I realize that there is not a lot you can do, but I
volunteer that we could retro-actively alter the email addresses
within the archives and make them un-minable.
I could write some code to do a generic substitution of text
containing the (at) symbol.
take an archive file full of email addresses like joe_blow(at)url.net
and turn them into joe_blow(at)url.net and the like.
Anyone have an opinion of the efficacy of this?
Also, while I remmember thumbs up to T.J.
