Having problems with message search?
1. If there is an option to not make the list visible - then don't do it - Phishers regularly grab list
names and then spam them.
2. If there is an option to not allow messages to be posted to the list by non-members then do
that as well. This means that subscribing to a list should also be moderated rather than automatic.
A bit more work but it cuts spam to a minimum.
3. As list members - we are by nature spam targets - there are ways to set up filters on your email
client to drastically reduce spam but if you're not a wizard then you might find it easier to just delete
anything and everything you don't instantly recognize as legitimate (you should be doing this anyway,
since opening an attachment from an untrusted source is the quickest way to having a virus problem) -
including don't open those e-cards from hallmark or whatever. You're just setting yourself up if you
do.
my 2 cents,

I do not appreciate the type of emails coming through this way (Arabella looking for discreet cam2cam). I will be unsubscribing and I guess I just miss the information coming in this manner.
