Out of the Blue

Man, if it wasn't bad enough receiving all those virus mails that promise 'a very powful tool,' or 'a very humour game,' and of course the inevitable 'I send you this file in order to have your advice,' the inundation from the latest Windows mail worm has gotten equally out of hand. I'm talking of course, about the 'Enjoy this friendship Screen Saver and Check ur friends circle...' dealie that's been making the rounds, apparently the W32.Yaha.E@mm and W32.Yaha.F@mm worms. I guess I'll look at the screensaver later, right now I'm off to catch a 'Spice Girls vocal concert.'

Link of the Day: David Still. Visiting the site will pretty well explain this, though it can't be appreciated until you receive one of the emails.
Story of the Day: The plot's bad, and as for the dialogue... Thanks Brendan Reville.
Story of the Day II: Police fear wurst, halt Wienermobile near Pentagon. Thanks SlayerAODsk.
Follow-up: Living Sweatiest cities. The full list from yesterday's 'Weird Science' link. Thanks Jonathan C. Forster.

Yeah... the spice girls thing is another virus reference. I got that email twice that I recall. Some of these I didn't even realize were viruses at the time. I just thought they were stupid spam and deleted them. But I don't run Outlook, so I mostly don't have to worry too much about these things. I just don't open files if I don't know what they are.

I recommend Mailwasher (http://www.mailwasher.net/).
It downloads the Headers of your email and compares their origins with Spam Blacklists. It can then automatically mark them for Deletion & Bouncing (makes it appear as though your address doesn't exist). I've been using it for a month and it seems pretty good.

right up until a valid sender gets blacklisted - perhaps your order confirmation came from an aol address!

unsolicited commercial email is a fact of life in the (mis)information age everone get used to it and ignore the crap. you know like you do with tv adverts* and ordinary mail.

This is Blue's News, and since Ive read it for quite some time it has earned my trust, in fact i cant find any other site on the net more decent and trustworthy than this one.
Im still hiding it for the readers though.

And i have yet to recieve a single spam mail.

Come to think of it, maybe blue sells our email addresses to nasty companies. He also sells your passwords to l337 h4x0r5.

He also monitors your emails to look for suitable partners for hudson.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
