Re: Warning! Spam to PHP mailing list

Here's the system I use: 1. I subscribe myself ALWAYS, RELIGIOUSELY with one single email address: subscriptions@phpbeginner.com. To clean it I simply delete the mailbox and recreate it again once every month as they get over 50.000 messages. 2. I set my reply-to as another, different address - the one I DO read. So, when posts get archived only the subscription email can be crawled. The replies still get to me. 3. I use Becky! (but this could be almost any other mail client) that receives every subscription@ mail into one single folder. 4. I set rules to move every message received from that folder the right one. All the unmoved messages remain in the default folder I never look into and become automatically my trash-can. Now, go ahead - spam me as you need I only read what I want to. -- Maxim Maletsky maxim@php.net On Thu, 7 Nov 2002 22:27:56 +0100 "Daniele Baroncelli" <ubimmc93@libero.it> wrote: > Right, I get it. > > By the way, do any of you know an effective way to denounce spam abuses? > So far I have been using the www.spamcop.net service, but I would be glad to > receive some info on how the others cope with spam abuses. > > Cheers > > Daniele > > > "Maxim Maletsky" <maxim@php.net> wrote in message > news:20021107220254.1D2B.MAXIM@php.net... > > and will conclude by this: > > > http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=ubimmc93%40lib > ero.it&btnG=Google+Search > > > > > > -- > > Maxim Maletsky > > maxim@php.net > > > > > > > > Maxim Maletsky <maxim@php.net> wrote... : > > > > > Mailing lists get archived and the archives get crawled.
