Unwanted, unsolicited e-mails continue to be the bane of the internet. All the ISPs, all the browsers and all the e-mail programs employ rigorous, even Draconian programs to filter and block spam, yet, like New York City cockroaches it continues to proliferate. It is almost laughable. Consider this: in the past three days, the rigorously filtered Jaxonia mailbox has been successfully invaded by more than 70 un-asked-for commercial messages. G-Mail has a 'delete forever' button, and all of these gate crashers will be so dealt with, but IT DOESN'T MATTER! Like rampant spermatazoa, spam messages just keep crashing the ramparts.
Ads for drugs and credit reports lead the list, followed by sundry investment strategies, work-at-home schemes, and free food offers (steaks, sub sandwiches, health food.) Pornography seems popular, too, and not the run-of-the-mill kind. Real aberrant, abhorrent stuff.
Recently some legitimate enterprises have cautioned that their well-meaning and advantageous e-mails can be construed as 'spam' by over-zealous filtering programs; they suggest that we examine our spam carefully, and re-write or alter our filters to accept them.
FAT CHANCE! If you get listed as spam, YOU'RE SPAM! We're too busy deleting to find a workaround for you.
In Morocco Spam is not allowed because it is made from pork. We call it Corned Beef. I like the sexy Corned Beef.
