We all know there's a seller of films with a screen name that begins with mastervirus. (The name listed here is not complete)

Some of us have dealt with him. Some of us like myself have no plans to.

Everytime I get one of his listings, I mark it as spam and delete it.

What am I doing wrong. Shouldn't his lists stop coming to me if I direct it to the Spam folder?

Just curious.

Why Chip, you should well know that SPAM is a rather nasty replacement for real meat and is quite unpalatable ...

and I REALLY hope you didn't smear SPAM on your computer! It does not help your computer to function any better!

and yes ... I know I'm no help!

By the way, I bought my Close Encounter scope from Him, and he was fair, but a little on the pricey side.

Hello Chip, Osi
I get MASTERVIRUS's lists all the time and I have always deleted them, it is his name MASTERVIRUS puts me off.

Chip G -

Really - it depends on your software, different mail clients (or webservices if you use webmail) handle it differently - what you're trying to do is blacklist his email.

I'll ask the obvious question - have you asked him to take you off the list? Under the US CAN-SPAM act he has to remove you or face significant monetary penalties. I don't know his business, and if he's outside the US he may not care - but, its worth a shot.

Hope this helps,
Chip C

If this network is a true Spammer, then when they forward there information, in this case as a list, it will generate an option where by it will produce spirious email addresses linked to yours. So everytime you click it as Spam, it will self generate another address, so as to keep forwarding its wares. Do as above and send them an email (maybe using a temporary email address) requesting to be removed from there listings.

Regards, Chris
