What I meant was, if you never requested the newsletter, the undisclosed recipients could be one more indication of spam. Some of us subscribe to various websites then feel overwhelmed when our in-boxes are full of everything except email from our friends, co-workers and relatives. Things you subscribe to should never be sent to the spam folder simply as a way to keep them out of the inbox yet still have access to them. Hope this helps. I have very strict email filters. I set up gmail to mark all email as spam by default.
I then create filters after that for addresses that I want to receive email from. I now have no problem with unwanted email. The thing is Leo, the public have become as cynical as the spammers.
People are made to jump hoops to unsubscribe or discontinue a service. Websites and internet services simply have to lift their game, and programmers should work on better algorithms to detect spam rather than designing a dozen different media players, or another fragmentation tool. If the culprits can work an insidious product into our mail, surely someone on the right side can find a way of stopping it. Thanks for the great newsletter.
I got face book in here and nothing works to get rid of it, it is still plastered all over every thing, and right along side of it is ask.
Ed Munroe, I think what you are talking about is the Facebook links that are on webpages. The webpages are all on some server out on the internet that the webpage owner is paying for. A browser on your computer is connecting to the internet and accessing the webpages that the webpage creators have made for you to read.
The web page designers and owners have every right to put whatever they want on their pages. Hope that helps make your computer experience easier. I do understand the difference between spam and nonspam. But, I have been receiving a lot of junk mail in my email box, mail that I definitely did not ask for in the least. I am a woman, so why am I receiving unsolicited ads for viagra, offers of sex from other women, etc. I use nothing but herbs and I buy my herbs locally not online so why am I receiving ads for natural cures and I am happily married so why am I receiving ads trying to get me to cheat on my husband??
I never ever signed up for this. I have also been receiving email scams, trying to get me to agree to deals that would supposedly make me wildly rich. This is what I am getting, and since I do not fit any of those profiles I know I did not sign up for them. I wish it would all stop. I have had this email address for years and I may have to stop this email address and sign up for a different one just so that the garbage will stop. I have been spending too much of my time trying to clean it up each day just to be able to read my good email from my good email lists.
The rest of the email to that account goes directly to Trash. I also only have headers sent from my ISP for that particular email address. I do take a quick look before deleting the Trash. It was weird since that was the only time that happened!!!
Thunderbird is really pretty good at spotting spam in addition to the email address I mentioned above. I subscribed to a newsletter some time ago, with Yahoo this suddenly stopped being delivered. I therefore assume the problem Leo has stated is the cause of the problem, please follow his advice, the newsletter was very useful and not being able to use it caused problems.
Nobody signs up for a newsletter on purpose. Who am I going to believe? A newsletter spammer with a vested interest in his newsletters no one wants reaching their destination, or Leo Laporte? Whatever will I do? It depends on if you actually subscribed to the service or not.
There are many good businesses who send regular emails and newsletters, the unsubscribe link is the only tool they have to allow their subscribers to manage their accounts. So recommending to never use them is pretty harsh against the good guys.
Well, here I am in , just reading this for ths first time. Becky and Mary have told their stories about their smail SPAM, which are something like mine, but my issues have been bigger, which brought me here. If you did not authorize the use, do nothing and we will not email you again. It will, however, stop people from providing your email address as a dummy address, for when they want to log into somewhere and need a real email address.
Or, as in my case, the two idiot people in Arizona who have the same first initial and last name as I do, so continously use my email address as if it were their email, when they both have numbers incorporated in their A-B-C email addies. For some odd reason, they always forget what thier email addresses are, and they are legitimately stupid. We live a world full of self-entitled azzhats, this is for certain.
Pure idiots. And her name, photo and age!! Oh yeah, and HIS lover!! I received classified information! They never had actual acess to opening my email account, so they were never actually IN my email account. All they did was supply my email address as if they thought it was their email address, or email my addy from thier other email. Believe it or not: this has carried on for more than 10 years!!!!!!
I was finally fed up to no avail and took matters into my own hands. I emailed their employers, I removed them from their own accounts, I wrote bad emails about them as all types of replies. One of them actually had the audacity to email me from his near-identical addy to cuss me out and tell me that I should have tolerated him, that it was not as bad as I said it was.
Wow, how would he know how bad it was? He caused me to receive so much unwanted emails, for a decade; and even his kids — all three of them — signed me up for so many gaming websites, that I had to find out who were the owners of the websites, then contact them to explain and ask that my email address be forever banned from their websites!!
I had to ask their schools to stop emailing me and stop notifying me of all events and whatever else went on. I mean, just think about it. I opened each email to hope to be able to know who sent it and to be able to reply to stop it. I had so much crap from them that my personal emails were being returned to sender, for my inbox was too full. Come on already, just how much does ne person have to tolerate?
I saved all the emails into a folder, as evidence. I began only using that addy for sends, not intentional email to receive. But I was hopping ticked that I fought it for ten years before Cox finally acted on it. Oh, and once Cox actually did allow and honor one them to change my password and get into my email!!
HOW could that happen? This WAS a case of someone calling into Cox Communications and verbally seeking help to have my email account receive a new password so they could enter it!!! And I was able to prove to Cox their email addies as well as Cox Communication account numbers as well as names, phones, vehicle VINS not that that helped and employers. They make so many mistakes; and if you keep records, you not only attain proofs, but you can go over your own records and bring forward enough evidence to prove and expose an awful lot as it presents itself and opens new doors.
But I did what I could to protect my own email and carry on to deal with the two dirtbags who kept using my email as their catch-all hub. In my case, they were real people not spamming me, but stupid people actually thinking they were having stuff sent to thier on email. I think they were so stupid, they were disorganzied type hoarders people, because WHO couldbe that stupid?!!!
But THEY are! Cox might have cancelled their services, finally! If you did ask for it, then you absolutely should use the unsubscribe link. I have over 60, people who did. Reputable newsletters DO use double-opt-in, as I do. I do all my spam filtering on my local email client having set up all email accounts to forward ALL email including spam. I have rules set up in my local email client to filter out the spam.
This works fine to a point. Yahoo for example marks all mail that they deem spam as [Bulk]. An example of that recently came to my attention. After having some equipment installed in my home that qualified for rebates from the government and the manufacturer of the equipment, the confirmation of receipt of my documentation and the instructions that I was to follow was identified as [Bulk] by Yahoo and therefore went into my Spam folder!
The government and the company involved both being large entities, send out a lot of email and some spam filters will filter solely based on the volume sent from a source. I have learned that no matter how much spam I get, check that it has properly been identified as spam before just deleting it especially if expecting confirmations and instructions.

I rely on Gmail, which has the best filter in my experience, and yet I do still need to check the spam folder for occasional false positives. Maybe one a week on average and I get a LOT of email.
