Hi Clint, I think I was able to add the list to my allowed list, but for some reason, your emails still keep coming under the quarantine database. I don't know why. I have to go to work soon, so I'll have to work more on this tomorrow. Thank you for your suggestion, and I'm sorry for being a pain. BTW, I should have worded my last comment better. I didn't mean that you mentioned having me romoved from the list. It was Hugh's email that hinted toward's it. His quote --> " In a similar situation with Ralph (I think it was Ralph) Marlene considered removing him from the list."

Because I'm very busy with hundreds of emails per day and customers, I can only recall right off hand most of the most frequent postees at this list. After some thought, yes, I remember you now. ;-) No one is saying that you are trying to Spam someone on purpose Lisa. But for all of those that continuously receive this "challenge systems", it can be considered a form of Spam to the recipient. The suggestions I previously gave you is a starting point (about your ISP). If you don't have a website, you can get one and get it hosted for really cheap. A domain name (plus hosting by with whomever you register it) for about $1.99, but the hosting may be a bit more. A domain name for about $6.95-$8.95, then really GOOD hosting for about $4.95 a month (get one that uses the cPanel hosting software). The purpose of that would be your domain would have as many email addresses as you wanted, yours to delete and create at will, and FILTERED by cPanel's "Email filters" to which you can create up to 999 email filters blocking anything you chose in the header, subject, or message body. I am unfamiliar with how your current Spam system works. There may be a way to add to some whitelist, any emails with this list's email address in the header. Like the list's emails show in the header "reply to: [list's email address]", so see if you could possibly add that to a whitelist. It's possible that won't work and you'd have to add all the list members' addresses which would be a pain. For more info on that, you'd have to contact them, or someone else that uses the same system. I never suggested the sender of these emails (you) to be removed from the list. My exact words, at the bottom of my post, were: "If anyone knows her, please tell her to do something about it. Thanks," See? ;-) -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com http://www.ComputersCustomBuilt.com http://Computer-Hardware-Sales-Consumer-Electronics-Sales.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lisa Schnepf" A few things: First, I've been on this list for YEARS - you think someone would have known who I was? I know I don't post that often, but I have posted a lot over the years, and Clint, you are one of the people who have helped me a lot. I would never try to spam someone on purpose! That's the whole idea of me getting this program to begin with. I was using NIS 2006 and it HAD an antispam filter for a long time, then they took it out. I wish they didn't. I have NIS 2007 and it doesn't have the spam filter. Do you have any suggestions on a better one? I have been looking and can't find one. I tried to add your email address to the allowed list on this antispam program (Comodo Antispam 2005) and it says you're already on the list. How do I add a whole list's email address without having to add people individually? I'm on another list that gets a LOT of email and I have to keep adding people individually. I get a lot of email, so I get a lot of spam. I'm not trying to pass spam on others, I'm trying to get rid of it. I use Outlook for my email because my Pocket PC synchronizes with it. If you can help me, please do, but it hurt when you suggested knocking me off the list - thanks a lot! Lisa -----Original Message----- Clint - OrpheusComputing.com I'm inclined to agree with Hugh, sorry Lisa. I thought I answered your comment in my original post, but here it is again: "I DO NOT reply to these because these places blackmail/extort you into using them. Once they get your email address, they will then start sending YOU various BS (that's Spam)." Optonline.net is one of the worse USA ISP's as far as Spam goes. 2nd or 3rd maybe to Comcast, Cogencto and maybe Verizon. More UCE comes FROM these ISP's than any other. I have been forced to block more of the latter 3's IP addresses with my email filters than any other in the USA, that's how bad it is. I would tell your ISP you need a new email address from them, and if you were careful about your original address, TELL THEM this; it's been believed that these aforementioned ISP's actually SELL their members' email addresses to nefarious places. Isn't there a way you can add this list's email address to some whitelist? -Clint ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Vandervoort" Lisa, in your attempt to protect yourself, you're Spamming others and asking them to inconvenience themselves on your behalf. I suggest this is not a good solution. Imagine having to reply to hundreds of these emails for every list you're on. Not going to happen. In a similar situation with Ralph (I think it was Ralph) Marlene considered removing him from the list. You should figure out how to add these names yourself, or just get Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/) which solves this problem without intruding on others' time. This type of SPAM protection is never going to work, so you might as well switch now. ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
