Re: What Is Spam and the help you need.
8/7/2007 8:41:44 PM

Spam is unwanted, unsolicited, junk email that is sent to you and me without our consent. It is usually obnoxious and sometimes obscene.  It clogs up the internet and wastes our time when we have to sort and delete messages from our inbox. Spammers get lists of email addresses in several ways, however most of the addresses are harvested from your email address attached to usenet postings in newsgroups and from your email postings on web pages. Every time that you give out your email address when researching genealogy, it has the chance of getting harvested by the spammers. For example, Surname Lists on GenWeb County sites usually contain a "mailto:" link back to the surname submitter.If you subscribe to any Lists, these messages may be archived on open web sites for the harvester robots (Spambots) to use. The better Lists keep their archives protected from being spidered by spambots or search engines. Your email address may also be purchased by Spammers from unscrupulous List-owners.  Be careful what you join! If you want to post to the Usenet groups, try using a fake, temporary or protected email address.  Sometimes, people add extra letters to their real address, then tell people in the body of the message how to reply by deleting these letters. Also, you could use your website to refer replies to, if it contains your protected email address. (Hint: create an image file of your email address and post on your web site)When adding your surname to a County's web page, or when asking someone to list you as a researcher for a particular name or location, you usually have to give them your email address if you want other researchers to contact you. The best way to do this is to give them your website URL only, or ask them to post your surname with extra letters added, such as nospamrgcox@inetnebr.com, then somewhere in the posting tell people to delete the "nospam" before replying. Also, if you have a protected email address, such as SpamCop offers, use that. Some people like to use Hotmail or Yahoo accounts, then abandon them when the spam gets too bad, however, legitimate researchers will not be able to find you if you do this.

If you have already used your primary email address when posting messages to County or Surname web pages, then you really only have 2 choices:  Change your email address OR politely ask the administrator to delete or edit your posting. Most County administrators are happy to edit their pages when asked. (although you may need to remind them a few times !) Spamex  Has a protected email service.SpamCop Has a protected email service, and ways to report spam SpamCon foundation  Lots of Legal information on spamming.
