Spam

We all use our email for our business and somehow our address gets out those jurks that like to send Spam emails. There are several anti-virus systems that can handle this but some do not.
One way to report these unwanted emails (and some are just to sucker us into sending money) is to report it to the government at [e-mail address]. It seems to help after awhile.

Thanks for posting this information. Just the other day, I was looking for the address to report spam because I received such a shocking spam email that I couldn't just erase it and forget about it. The subject line read "Date rape drug now available" and the email was for one of those out of country pharmacies. I was disgusted.

Spam like that I also turn over to the local pd if it looks like a law breaker. Then they have the connections to get the site shut down after a while even if it is offshore .....

Not too much gets through on most of my private email as Yahoo spam guard does a good job of blocking it. Unfortunately though, my notary email I do need to review it before I delete it as every now and then a bank or tc will wind up in my "junk" folder.
