Spam on this group
I would like to enlist the aid of others on this list
in reporting spam. Nearly all the recent spam to the rec.photo groups is from Google Groups. To report the spam you must see the entire original post. For Outlook Express click on file/properties/details/original message copy the entire message and paste it into a new _e-mail message_. The address is included in the header. Just copy that and paste it into the address field of your message. The subject can be simply "spam". If we complain enough Google will ban the person doing this. The more complaints the better. Most spammers never look at the groups they spam and will just laugh at you if you complain on the list. Complain to the source. Because most server operators have awakened to the fact that they need to ban open relays its easier now to discover the actual source of the spam. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |

That spammer sent me garbage to my URL address, for some stupid reason I joined a local Chamber of commerce and they list my email in the open. Ever since I have gotten a lot more junk. -- Reality is a picture perfected and never looking back. |

Strange how Canon cameras and the multiple personality users of them seem to all reside in Australia with the bugs, spiders and snakes. Then again maybe when lives in a penal colony one has enough time to kill to read every past issue of National Geographic. Given all the Canon advertising maybe it leads the feeble mind into believing its the only camera able to properly portray all those bugs, spiders and snakes. -- Reality is a picture perfected and never looking back. |

I think my kill file now includes every brand of watch,
ladies handbag, over-priced tennis shoe and popular medication. And since I also subscribe to r.p.e.35mm it includes the name of every modern Canon camera and half the population of Australia. -- Nicholas O.

That finally made me take the plunge and filter out *all* posts coming from GG, with the exception of some valuable posters whom I put on a white list. |
