OT: Don't bother - it's spam!
But do those reports ever lead to anything? I get 'share purchase'
spams/scams by the hundred every week (complete with reams of meaningless drivel -- why do they do that?). Is there any point in reporting these spam/scams? What actually gets done?

Further to that, I also get offers by the hundred every week to improve my
erection (!) but I would think editing a book on garden trowels is more likely to do that then the stuff being touted (again complete with reams of meaningless drivel - incomplete nonsensical sentences, reams of 'keywords' that aren't and other stuff the purpose of which entirely defeats me).

It's sort of a catch-22. One or two complaints won't usually get noticed
much. Several complaints in a short period of time often result in the person being banned at most reputable places. Pop` aalaan wrote: But do those reports ever lead to anything?

From that, I'd say your email address/es have made it to the millions CDs
and are being bought/sold on a daily basis and the amount of spam you'll get will probably only increse. It's too late to do much about it on those email accounts. There likely is nothing you can do to get rid of it short of getting a new email address AND learning how not to expose it to spammers. If you're intersted in how to keep spam at bay, MS has lots of good info, Google will get you lots of links. Also google for "safe hex" for even more info. The very first think you need to do is remove your real e-mail address from newsgroups! Spammers have software that does nothing but scan newsgroups looking for addresses to add to their list of addresses. Then get a free throw-away email address from any number of places, and use that whenever you must give an address to a place that isn't a trusted relative or person; never use your main email address for siging up for things, anything. Then get a new email address that can't easily be guessed by software, known as "dictionaired" by the spammers. They found aalaan, so they're probably also sending to every form of that name imaginable, and then appending 1, 2, 3, ... 9999 to the names to get the duplicates. The safest username against dictionary spam is one with digits in the middle of it somewhere, like aa456laan. Those become very hard to guess. But that's only the tip of the iceberg. www.webopedia.com/TERM/s/spam.html wikopedia.com search for spam spamcop.net cauce.org microsoft.com spamabuse.net abuse.net spamfighter.com winpatrol.com spamlaws.com spamassassin.apache.org etc etc etc. Many good, many bad; most make good reading on how to protect yourself.

Thanks Pop. But aalaan is not my email address. I already follow your
recommendations. But *once* I inadvertently posted my real email address on a newsgroup, years ago in fact. So I know what's causing the problem. It is not an option to change that address as it is now well known in my industry. But what still puzzles me is why much spam has reams of nonsensical sentences attached. "Pop`" wrote in message ...

The nonsensical sentences are just a 'smoke screen' to try and trick spam
filtering programs into thinking the emails are genuine. The Spam Filter sees a whole lot of what (to a computer) seems to be normal non-spamming text, (The actual spam is often in a picture attached to the email) and so lets it through... Chris.

OK thanks, I see. I am getting a heap of stuff today entitled ralph here ,
jack here and so on, touting shares. In fact this share scam must be the biggest scourge of the moment. I only get a promise to improve my erection about once a day now "ChrisM" wrote in message ...
