Yeah, I seem to get a lot of spam from these Chicago clubs. The spam is sent to idm-list@staticbeats.com an address that I obviously set up to curtail such activities. I get spam sent to addresses I used for the ambient list as well as addresses I used to use for the IDM List. It's a shame really, to send people so much crap they aren't interested in. Why in the world would a club want to spam you ? They aren't selling you anything, they just want to let you know what events are happening. So if you "unsubscribe" shouldn't this be an indication you're not interested? What a nuisance. I've definitely learned a lot about how spam gets my way though. Any and every time I enter my email address on the net I use the form websitename@staticbeats.com for instance, I'd say markdotcomguestbook@staticbeats.com if I signed Mark's guestbook. Then, wouldn't you know it but I get a ton of mail sent to that address within days. So I just block the address with procmail and all is good in the world. So yes, it's all about procmail.... too bad I can't seem to properly get it working with my web host. Think I'll try running a mail server at home....
