Well, I am still one of those without my personal e-mail addy listed on my member page, but can have e-mail sent to me through GW. In the past, I have had my addy listed and have had serious problems with spam mail that comes from other forums on GW. Since I post on quite a few of the other forums on GW, I found that some of them do have their fair share of spam type posts; advertising for various websites, products etc. When my e-mail addy was available for anyone to see, these posts would pop up on these other GW forums and within an hour or so I would have the spam coming to my e-mail box about the product, site etc. Once I realized where all this spam was coming from, I removed my addy from my member page, and that was the end of the spam coming from here. Hope you all understand why I no longer have my e-mail addy available to see, but as I said, you can send it through GW and I would say that 95% of the time I don't have a problem getting it. Fran

When I posted this email, I checked the box so that emails would be sent to my address. If you notice, when you send a reply, it says, "A copy of your follow-up will automatically be emailed to the original poster." Guess what? I have not received any of these emails! So it's still not working for me, it seems to be very random. But I'm annoyed. Someone posted that they thought I was ignoring their request for seeds, when I simply never got it!

Historically Hotmail has concerns when updating, upgrading, or changing gateways. Normally it takes a few weeks for it to all clear up. The one issue that users must remember is that full service "Live" Hotmail is formulated for high-speed connections. A user on a DUN should convert to "Live", but remain in the "Classic" mode. DA

I use Windows Live Mail that gets my server mail. There are 2 ways to block it in there. I maybe get one spam a year, it usually something I have done to receive it. It is not because I blocked it. A tech from my server told me to make a unique email address and it will stop most spam. He said he didn't get any spam. A lot of people say this doesn't work but it does for me. I make an addy that only makes sense to me using an old street address number mixed in with my initials alternating numbers and letters.
