Email Spam

[mrs_overall]

One of my email addresses has gone from having no junk mail to about 50 a day in one fell swoop. The are mainly American and are the same every day: dating sites for Christians/Jews/pensioners (bloody cheek!) and offers to buy a degree from previously unheard of colleges.
Should I be tempted? If not, how do I stop them.

[mccfluff]

highlight them all and mark them as spam/block sender

[mrs_overall]

Thanks mcfluff.
I am a total klutz with technology

[mccfluff]

not just a total klutz then :-)

chances are they use different sender names each time (one will come from [email protected], the next one will be [email protected]), so blocking individual senders may not have any instant effect; you have to hope your email provider will start to recognise them as spam once you're reported a few.

Taking advantage of your kind mature Mrs O. I'll bite their backsides for you for a belly rub. Hope your feeling better. xxxx

mrs o is mature, Nessie? Well I'll be jiggered.

[SlackAlice]

Not much you can do, other than mark them as spam and delete. Obviously, do not click on any links or respond in any way.

[tonyav]

[mrs_overall]

Mature??????? Cheeses are mature, not ladies, and certainly not this one!

[SlackAlice]

Its the Marigolds that does it.

[LochNessMonster]

Oops, Nature Mrs O.

Your not old like me, I'm sitting here smoking my pipe and wearing my slipper ?

[mrs_overall]

Nessie - in between being on here to supervise Tony, doing philanthropic good deeds and being an all round good egg, I'll have you know I am a supermodel.

[LochNessMonster]

You look like one Mrs O.

A Katie Price without the plastic.

...been meaning to ask you Mrs Overhang. You didn't happen to bump into Auntie Peggie and Lillian when they stayed in Whitby a couple of weeks ago? ;o)

[mrs_overall]

Bonjour Monsieur le Builder

Were they the pair who wandered into the Dracula Experience and the staff refused to let them leave, thinking they were part of the exhibits?

[The Builder]

Haha......... you're obviously not a listener to The Archers Mrs Ovoid ;o(
