    Thumbs down Stupid Junk Mail!!!

    Is anybody else getting flooded with those "Mail Delivery Subsystem"/"Mail delivery failed" spoof spams????

    I've been getting this massive flood of them since this tomorrow and nothing else is getting through to my hotmail because it keeps putting me over my storage capacity.

    Arrrghhh!!! Just needed to vent!

    Hotmail has a feature that let's you only receive email into your inbox from addresses that you specifically saved into your address book. And everything else goes to the junk box.

    The only problem is that inbox and junk box capacity count for your overall account size limit.

    I've had this massive flood before but it didn't last this long.

    I receive less junk mail than i used to. I only get like 10junk mails a day.. sometimes less.
    "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”

    For my hotmail, I just checked off the option to delete all incoming junk mail right away, with that address book filter on.

    Ah I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that problem. I have one main e-mail address, and then one for professional stuff, and another for Beyond stuff.

    The main one get's 3-5 e-mails everyday from friends and ZERO junk e-mails.

    The professional one gets like 5 e-mails everyday that are all 25 KB which are obviously viruses so I never get them.

    The Beyond one gets like 20 emails a day from Beyond and ZERO junk e-mails.

    I don't know why you guys bother with Hotmail. The first and third e-mail addresses of mine are Eminem/Loadmail.com e-mail addresses, and must I remind you zero junk e-mail!

    The second address is a Shaw account.

    After 2 years of putting up with the 100 or so spam emails i get in a few days with my hotmail, it has now dropped to about 1 or 2 a day. I guess they got tired of sending stuff to me?
