Hello,
I subscribe to numerous yahoo groups and receive zero spam.....why? My ISP
Provider has a
top notch mail scrubber that doesn't allow to get very far..........infact I
need to check the site
to see if any good mail got trashed but not lost. I manage the degree of
filtering too.
If your Internet provider is on the ball, junk mail would be a thing of the
past to their customers
free of charge. Just my 1 cent.
73,
Bill KB9IV
