I'm using Eudora 6 on Earthlink cable, TimeWarner supplier, 10 
addresses, including a hotmail, Three yahoos, 5 Earthlinks, etc, and 
haven't seen one of these things yet. My flipper at macsrule account 
(DigitalCrowd) started passing spam, and I killed the paid-for 
account, altogether, to hell with them.

Yahoo and Earthlink filter a lot into 'Junk' on the server end, where 
it empties all on its own, earthlink passes hardly anything past its 
own "Known SPAM' box, and my hotmail is only used to facilitate MSN 
Messenger for my daily chats with my daughter. So the only 'spam' I 
get from that is from "Your friends at MSN, or hotmail", usually 
talking about 'patches' and warnings about bogus patches...all MS 
stuff.

But two Yahoo addresses and two of my Earthlink addresses have been 
on the web for years. I  never limit the size of downloads (that's 
been in Eudora since at least ten years).

As for Digital Crowd, their Customer support guys are permanently out 
to lunch, so, to wake 'em up a bit, I had all of my (previously 
'Spaminated') yahoo junk mail go to a folder in Eudora, where it was 
'filtered with "Redirection" to cs at digitalcrowd.com   Uhhh, the junk 
from DigitalCrowd/Macsrule stopped, I killed the filtering,  resumed 
the collection of Spam on Yahoo's ample servers, and 
then...terminated the DigitalCrowd account anyway.

When companies cannot find a way to even respond to the basic 
requirements of their clients, the next step is to deny them income. 
Corporations, by their nature, hate that.
