Lisa, I just received my first piece of spam from ComodoAntispam, so now I'm just as mad as everybody else.
The punchline came at the end of the message: "Comodo AntiSpam is completely free. Experience a 100% spam free inbox for yourself by visiting www.comodo.com " Well, I had a 100% spam free inbox before you came along with this Comodo thing. But I notice that it says "for yourself". It doesn't say what happens to everybody else! The swine who created this thing is probably off somewhere giggling over the mess he has got people like you into. I hope all the others on this list are taking note of what happens when you use one of these challenge/response filters to "make friends and influence people". And Lisa, in case you haven't actually seen the message that Mr. Comodo is sending out in YOUR name, it starts like this: Hi, it's Lisa Schnepf. I finally decided I'd had enough of junk mail, and installed a fantastic application that gets rid of it all. Unfortunately, you are not yet in my trusted senders list!! The only way I'll get your emails is if you follow the steps outlined below: . . . The irony of this beats anything I've seen for a long time. Well Lisa, the bad news is that I don't want to be in your trusted senders list and I'm not rising to any bait. Why don't you toss that package in the river? I hope you haven't shelled out any good money to those animals. Unfortunately the Web is crawling with that kind of vermin. There are people on this list who can help you with serious suggestions on what to do about spam. The best I can come up with is to use multiple addresses and keep a careful record of who you gave each one to in case one needs to be folded. But there's better than that, if you listen to advice.
