[AccessD] OT: Cannot get rid of spam!

Suggestions:

1) NEVER open these emails, especially if they are from other than a
microsoft.com address - and that is no guarantee, as the sending address can
be spoofed.

2) NEVER use the "opt out" links included in these emails. All that does is
validate to the sender that your email address is valid, and they will send
you even more.

3) Invest in a "spam-blocker" software program; there are many reasonably
good ones out there, and they are often free or at least low priced.
Personally, I have been using "iHateSpam", and it works quite well (cost is
about $15 ??).

Good Luck!

Hi group,

approx 2 weeks ago I saw that my mailbox for my
AccessD-list mail was full. I then saw that I had only
a 'couple' (100+) e-mails in it. I checked my Bulk
folder and it was full with 'microsoft' updates. They
all came from e-mail like:

qweerejkks at yahoo.com
2q323312 at yahoo.com
etc.

I receive these mails every day. They keep comming in
until my mailbox is completely full.
I tried blocking the mailadresses, but since they
change every day that didn't work.
I tried blocking the 'domain' www.yahoo.com, that also
didn't work.
I tried to unsubscribe from the mails, no info about
that in the mails
I checked my Microsoft account, Yahoo account for any
subscriptions and i canceled them all.
Result? The mails keep coming in!

How do I get rid of these mails?

TIA!!

Sander
