I added this as a singature at the bottom of my e-mail Protect your family and friends and don?t assist the spammers! PLEASE: Use the BCC (not the CC) block when sending emails to multipliable edresses Do not give this edress out to anyone or any site such as a e-card site Delete all names and e-dress before forwarding mail to anyone. Thank you I (and your loved ones) appreciate your compliance All except one either started following this advice or asked me about it and started following it you may try adding a blurb such as that. As a singature it will automatically add it to each and every mail you write. milady <kg6ocz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Only thing is to remember all that..GAK!!. giggle.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" To: Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 9:03 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Mail Do what I do. Send a reply that says something like: "We're sorry, but your email has been rejected by the mail server due to restrictions. Please contact the person you are trying to email regarding this". Then you're cousin will ask you why did he get this. You play stupid and say something like, "Oh, I forgot all about that. Yes, I have it set to reject bulk mailings using the TO or CC field." If he asks why you would do that, make up some story about other people you don't want to hear from and this blocks them. Say sorry and tell him that he needs to either BCC you or send individually to you. Very simple. Very un-intimidating. Very un-insulting. ;o) ____________________________________ Sir Troth ICQ #1717439 AIM/AOL: SirTrothX Yahoo: SirTroth MSN: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxx (do not email me here) My Personal Email: SirTroth@xxxxxxxxx -------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of cristy Sent: Thursday, December 15, 2005 9:12 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Mail I have a distant cousin who forwards me with lots of others email addresses, I am afraid I might offend him if I say something as he is a bit sensitive about things.
