The funny part : i am not a member nor will i ever be a member of Lostinthe50sPTR tongue.gif .I guess they are that desperate for money that they send all searches to everyone biggrin.gif Clear form of spamming or not? wink.gif

Are you a member of BeansnGreen? Looks to me like it was just a mistake and the "Lost in the 50s" part was meant to be "BeansnGreens" or whatever the name of it is.

Dunno but the last few days i get about 40 adminsearches.on a daily basis. Getting a little annoying laugh.gif Just saw it by accident.

Well...
Here is my latest plan in regards to these sites. Earlier today it was route66 sending out the massive repeat emails. I figure it must be that Peggy is just not aware of the issues this can cause so....

There is an address at the bottom of the email to report spam, so I set up my email client to forward ALL the repeat emails directly to the spam report address.

I may no longer be a member of route66 as of today, but I feel better, and it would be the best 9 bucks I ever spent...lol

Aw, man!

Can you imagine if every member that received the multiples did that?

Turnabout is fair play?

I'm not real happy about the way things are going at Peggy's sites either.... but...
do you REALLY think she is sending all those multiples on purpose?

It is obviously a problem with her mailer. I hope it is fixed soon but I doubt this is spam
angelsj
Doing it on purpose? Perhaps not, but this is at least the 5th time it has happened within a couple of months.

I have exhausted several attempts to contact her regarding this, and there are several threads in this forum about it. As far as I know, no one has received any explanation.

A repeated, unsolved problem eventually can no longer be labeled "unintentional".

It may not be spam, but perhaps if it is sent back in the same quantities it is arriving, it will garnish enough attention for her to make the necessary changes to her system of doing things to put a stop to it.

I do know I am in a LOT of other programs that have NEVER done this, so I believe there are solutions out there.


Just my two cents.

I just deleted 122 search emails from Beans and Greens and yes this is just from today.......This is unacceptable especially if it causes my other PTR emails to bounce unsure.gif
angelsj
Shelly,

Do you have the ability to autoforward?
See above tactic. Honestly, I don't know if it got her attention or not, but they DID stop after about 15 or 20 got forwarded (out of the almost 200 I received).

There is an address at the bottom of the mail to report spam. Forward repeats to that address.
In case anyone is wondering, so far I have not been deleted from route66, but I am not getting the repeat emails either...


God bless

If I was you, I would block Peggy's email address or change to receive her emails to site inbox only.
