List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 18 Jan 2004 12:28:33 -0000 Can anybody tell me if there's a way to get rid of these stupid emails about viagra, sex, how to get drugs online without a prescription, and other horrible and/or stupid stuff. I know there's spamassassin, but since the emails come with different subject headings, often innocent or important-looking ones, and they're always purportedly from different people, I don't know how to get rid of them. I never knowingly did anything to solicit such stuff, and email used to be a complete pleasure, but sometime this summer this kind of junk started becoming prevalent. Of course, I usually can avoid reading it; if it tells me to pick up my order for instance and i don't have an order to be picked up I delete it, and if it's supposedly to me but the index in pine doesn't give a name or email I know I delete it. but really, I don't even want the stuff coming here. Thanks for any suggestions. I'm really frustrated!!! -- Cheryl
