Junk Emails

[Jerry Simon]

The last week or so I've been getting an S-load of junk emails...the kind where I can get 5.5 million out of Zimfrickinbobway or somewhere like that with a simple email reply or phone call.

Up until the past week, I'd get maybe a couple a month at best. Now, I'm getting a dozen or more a day. Anyone else notice this?

All of us here in Zimfrickinavbobway have been wondering why you haven't gotten back to us....(?)....

I get them too. I only get them on my business email. I think that's because that email is listed all over the web. The sniffers can see it and figure they'll have better luck probing addresses that are more likely to be active.

I hardly get any on my private emails.

Jerry,

Change your e-mail link on your website to a button. Spam bots won't find it as easily.

ONCLICK="location.href='mailto:jerry@e-mail address here'"

STYLE="font-family:arial; color:000000; font-weight:bold">

Thank You! Got five more this a.m. alone.

I have a spam/junk mail filter from my domain host (www.hostmonster.com), it cost $12 per year per email address. 98% of the junk mail is stopped at my host and I never see it except in a single report that I get every day.

I have a specific email address for my site, and I definitely get 100% more spam to that address than any other.
