    Do you report Spam?

    Or do you just bury it with your email program?

    I report to the FBI but I wonder if it does anything.

    Is there anymore good sources to report Spam to with a forward address or on a website?

      No. I use gmail, and considering how many different, and publicly available email addys I have that redirect to my main gmail account...

      I perhaps ONLY get 5 spams a day !

                              lots and lots of people *do* report mail as spam, even if they opted in to a newsletter! particularly gmail and aol as the buttons are really right there.

                                      I just delete it, even though I don't get that much spam anyway as I don't post my email everywhere.

                                                      100% correct which is but one reason that mailing lists have to be so large to accomplish anything.

                                                      That and the fact that most surfers have no idea what they are doing when they sing up to receive newsletters, announcements or email sales pitches for products or services.

                                                      Many srufers and recipiceants define any commrcial email as "spam" even though they have opted or doubly-opted in to receive it.

                                                      These surfers and recipients are defined as "morons" but do occasionally buy.

                                                      I suppose the they think that the information which they have requested will be delivered to them by fairy dust or carrier pigeon.

                                                          If I unsubscribe more than once, I set a filter straight to the FTC and never see the email again.

                                                          I don't hit the spam button... simply follow the law or get filtered to the gov.

                                                          I have about 50 of these filters set.

Treat the surfers like shit, lose a porn customer from the industry.

                                                                              Of course your time reporting email to the FBI is wasted.
                                                                              Spam itself is actually legal... it's called CAN spam, so you CAN spam basically.

                                                                              What's illegal, is to ignore the opt-out process, not send proper headers, fake the org sender, forcing porn spam through, and so on.

                                                                              Yes, I do report those... it takes about 2 seconds to setup a filter for it. Where the spam button might be 1 second, you still have to hit it 10 times to work where a filter works 99.9% of the time.

My filters take out hundreds of spams a day I only the report the few that make it though.

                                                                                                      the last few weeks I've seen a huge uptick on "virus" mails coming to those 2 accounts ALL the same topic "DHL" "UPS" or "FED EX" all claiming the address I used was wrong and they can't ship or send me my package, ALL have an attached file, and about 50% of them set off my virus software lol.

                                                                                                      I'd bother to report them BUT I was bored one day and I randomly checked 10 of those mails and every single one had a diff email .co .it .fr etc etc so I just dump the junk folder and that's that.

It isn't hard to follow the rules and have some basic decency in business, I've been doing it for almost 15 years now.....

I've never not taken the time to figure out where it came from and report it, and I always will.

It isn't hard to follow the rules and have some basic decency in business, I've been doing it for almost 15 years now.....

I've never not taken the time to figure out where it came from and report it, and I always will.
