The sun is brighter. The grass is browner (we keep forgetting to water it). Even the very air is sweeter, if a little heavy with humidity and darn hot.
And what could bring on such a feeling of giddiness? Why, my work account is spam-free! That’s right: NO SPAM. I asked the help desk to turn off my original work email address and they did. And now I’ve had almost 12 hours without a single piece of spam.
Sure, I realize that it’s probably temporary no matter how much care I take, but for the moment, I am gloriously free of ads on Viagra, breast enlargements, penis enlargements and really great mortgage refinancing options.
I use FRONTBRIDGE and instead of spam going to my email account it goes to a seperate folder. I can then glance at the folder and delete the ads. I noticed SDMB mail often goes to my spam account if it has anything to do with lesbians, sex, dildos, prizes, suprises and mortgages. I like it.
I actually had to set up a folder and a rule in Outlook to get my work email to move over so I wouldn’t lose it amidst all the junk. And even then I had to check the main folder because of legitimate outside vendor emails.
My personal email account isn’t so lucky. I get 5-10 emails a day that slip through the spam filters, and 99% of the time they’re for bestiality porn.
