My concern is for anyone on the mailing list who finds the the outrageous claims in these spams to be vaguely plausable and might be quitely sweating and considering paying these slimeballs while embarrassed to ask for advice first, thinking that they are the only ones receiving these emails.
True.
I worked in the email field for about 15 years. I operate my own mail server, I use lots of different email addresses for different purposes and I am very careful with them. I receive almost zero spam on my cctech/cctalk email address.
Agreed.
In case anyone doesn't know because they receive a lot of spam direct to their email address, practically no spam at all is delivered through the classiccmp listserver - Jay does a tremendous job in stopping spam from arriving via that path.
I wish more mailing lists were as diligent. I see a LOT of spam come through specific lists. More than I typically see in Usenet newsgroups. :-/
