I had an inordinate amount of spam also, which I forwarded to uce.
I would propose that the federal death penalty be extended to spamming.
We'd be sure to clean out some of the sleazier elements of society. ;-)

I've never gotten any spam on grex. But I got 20 more than usual on my MSU
account today.

I receive almost nothing BUT spam on my grex account, so I've changed my
.forward to uce and am using my upstageleft.net addresses instead.

(it's been a long time since I've given out my Grex address for anything,
but I figure spam will be one of the disadvantages of being at the top of
the password file.) ;)

It's been a long while since I've given out my Grex address for anything,
but it is still on my inactive (yet still present) angelfire.com account,
and it appears on a lot of publicly accessible (and spiderable) Grex
webpages due to my boardmembership.

just passing this along from the panix mod:
":Notice to users running Unix at home (elr) Thu Jun 27 21:09:40 2002
Panix customers who run home versions of Unix should pay close attention
to these recent security advisories:
OpenSSH remote root compromise:
http://www.openssh.org/txt/iss.adv
BSD-based operating system resolver client buffer overflow:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/803539
Apache chunking remote vulnerability:
http://httpd.apache.org/info/security_bulletin_20020620.txt
The resolver client buffer overflow is particularly scary, since it
could theoretically be exploited through a firewall or on a machine
that is not running any server programs.

I dunno. If I wanted to send mail to Eric, I'd probably send it to
other@grex.org even though he has never told me to use that addresss.

Well, please send it to upstageleft.net instead. Any address there will
do.

to help prevent spam do not use your grex account to sign up for things on
the internet. get a yahoo or hotmail account to sign up for these things.
these accounts are always targets of spam anyways!!!.

Hmm. So to reduce the spam I get I should open another account where I'll
get even more spam?

I never ever get spam at my yahoo account or at my ISP, but plenty at grex.
I posted my grex address at my website and get lots of 'small business' spam
as well as the usual porno and mortgage.

If you post your address at a website, you will always get spammed.

I got it at my earthlink account as soon as I changed email addresses to avoid
spam. Not a single spam at my lesser-known ISP in six months.

I've been getting some interesting spam since someone did a search of
aac@* and figured out that aac@mit.edu was a valid address (mailing list).
Fortunately, it was ridiculously easy to solve the problem, since mit
allows you to take yourself off any list. I'm wondering if the others on
the list have figured it out yet.

lol. I posted uce@ftc.gov some time ago.
I suspect that spam bots have actually sent spam there!

One thing I love about GREX:
The staff's efforts to prevent spam mail aren't met with suspicion and
paranoia.

We *still* have a modem with defective flow control which dumps
the connection when you try using sz. <sigh>
If Jan is measuring modem usage without taking the defective
modems (noisy, disconnecting) into account, the actual demand
is being understated by at least one full line, maybe two.
