    Surely the folks at Gmail and Smamassasin could have figured out that fix. I’ve not gotten that particular sort of spam .. perhaps it’s new? I assume that you use the “Report Spam” button in Gmail. Anyway, let us know if your fix works.

    …and for readers who use procmail:

    Wonderful Spam

    :0 * ^From.*Wonderful.Buys.com /dev/null

    Should fix it right up.

    perhaps I’m not harsh enough on this horrid spam. you shouldn’t throw it directly away, you should save it in a spam folder…

    Wonderful spam

    :0 * ^From.*Wonderful.Buys.com mail/Junk

    …so you can feed it to spamassassin:

    $ sa-learn –spam ~/mail/Junk

    Instead of complaining, why don’t you just unsubscribe? That list is for previous customers, so you must’ve purchased something from them previously or signed up in the first place.

    Wow.

    I most certainly did not sign up for it, but it looks like I did get opted-in via some other product or service. Thanks for the heads up; I never even considered the possibility that it was a legitimate marketer.

    Of course it’s a legitimate business, they’re the #1 e-tailer in their segment. Everything is completely legal, and somehow you signed up even if you didn’t know about it as they run many sites.

    Like I said, everything is completely legal and it’s only considered spam if you can’t unsub and you somehow didn’t get opted-in, which you did opt in. So just unsub and have a good day.

    Sounds like someone’s an employee of wonderfulbuys, now doesn’t it? Well done to find this site and comment on it Ryan but how about stepping out from the shadows? No one speaks about a junk-selling website that fondly without being in thier employment.

    That said, why all the hostility? Someone seems a might touchy about being maligned online. Have a good day ;)
