RE: [RC] Okay you geniuses - David LeBlancThere's other ways to do it, but images are one of the easier. Another way is if you actually click on the link. They sometimes see if you'll send them a read receipt. I get tons of spam, too. I've had this e-mail address since about 1994. I'd try a different filter. I just use regular Outlook set to only put mail in my Inbox from people in my contacts, or who I've said I trust. I still have to root through the spam (for example, if you reply, your reply will end up mixed in the spam), but the mail I really want for sure is easy to find. ________________________________ From: ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:ridecamp-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sky Ranch Sent: Saturday, October 28, 2006 11:25 AM To: David LeBlanc; ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [RC] Okay you geniuses Is an image really required for the spammer to know that they "hit" a valid e-mail address? I get a lot of spam, because I have an internet ad, but none of the filters work -- what happens is that most of the spam still comes through, and the *real* e-mails that I want are filtered out.
