Mail bombed!
So far I have received over 1000 "Microsoft" phony patch messages containing
a worm or virus. I assume whoever is behind this has been harvesting e-mail addresses from the newsgroups. Anyone else getting bombed with these fake messages?. I'm closing this e-mail account and trying to figure out how to avoid this in the future as my ISP will kick out any messages I send with "NOSPAM" or a similar addition in my posted address. I hope the ****er who is behind this ends up in a jail cell with a 7 foot tall convict with a taste for forcible anal rape! Yankee Bob Flush Bush in 2004 |

I regularly use a half dozen e-mail accounts and only the one I have been using for Usenet has ANY of flood, and it gets several hundred a day. You might want to use a 'real' account that you check in web-based format only, and that you go to only to flush. |

An addition: this is DEFINITELY a Usenet bombing. I just created a new
Hotmail account YESTERDAY that I am using as my reply address. From yesterday to today, it has been bombed to overcapacity with virus messages. This is in less than 24 hours--and I have never actually posted a mail from it, I have only used it as my passive reply address for Usenet since yesterday!!! |

download 'mailwasher' and manage it this way - easy to locate via
www.google.com otherwise use an ISP that filters mail better yet - DO NOT use your real name or email address in newsgroups "Retired" wrote in message ... Rojosh wrote in message ...

You can be mail bombed regardless of your OS and anti-virus software.
