Stop sending me GERMAN spam! - GoFuckYourself.com

Rick Latona · 05-19-2005, 12:17 PM

LOL At least send me some in Spanish so I can read them. It seams like once a year I get bombarded with German emails. It's almost like a big spammer out there dedicates his whole network to German ads once a year and once a year only.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Apparently it's timed with WWII activities here's more info...

"The virus, called "Sober.q" by McAfee, is the 16th variant in the Germany-oriented Sober virus family that first appeared on the Internet in October 2003. Unlike earlier Sober viruses, this version isn't packaged inside an email attachment. Rather, it's being distributed by a Web site that automatically updates computers infected with the earlier, highly successful "Sober.p" variant, which began spreading on May 2.

Other variants of the Sober virus have been designed to send spam, but Gullotto said Sober.q has been much more successful than its predecessors, suggesting more such attacks could be ahead."

Considering I deal in porn, loans and outsourcing, I'm reluctant to use any sort of spam filter. I'd rather delete 600 emails a day than miss 1 that I needed to see.

That's just me though. I may get an iWebmaster to delete my spam for me, though.

Select the option not to delete and move to a folder of your choice, you lose no mails and it's just like you have a rule set to divert into differant folders.

Personally I prefer to be able to filter into a spam folder like this so I can answer those mails that I need to see faster and become more efficent and then check the spam folder after for any mails that should not have filtered into that folder, but it's normally very few.
