Hello

I've been using AOL for nearly 2 years now and never had any "spam" emails until recently.

I now have 4 usernames with my account. Everyday I get 2-3 emails sent to one of 3 of my usernames at random offering drugs like valiam, Viagra or even "organ enlargement"!!

Quite amusing at first but its becoming a pain now. Anyone know how I can help prevent this trash being sent to my email addresses?


thanks

Nick

If that particular email address is on a web site or posted on a BBS that's the reason. You need an intelligent email client with anti-spam etc
