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?

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.

Does anyone know if Lisa Schnepf is a member of the list?
I'm
getting
fed up with these emails being sent to me. I am NOT
emailing
her
personally, so it has to be some email list.
--------------------
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:
Here's what you have to do:
1. Press Reply
2. In the body of the reply, type in my AntiSpam
Passcode:
3. Press Send.
When I receive this reply, I will know that it was really
you
that sent
me the email and not a computerized spammer. I will then be
able to
receive all your mail. This authentication will be done only
once.
-----------------------------
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.
If anyone knows her, please tell her to do something about
it.
Thanks,
-Clint
