Junk e-Mail

I must get 20-25 junk e-mails every day. What is up with that? I am constantly having to empty my trash just to clear out my mail box. Apple has a great junk e-mail filter on their e-mail program but they put the e-mails in a junk folder for you to check out and delete later. I guess I could set it to automatically delete them but what if I'm missing something? What if an e-mail that I'm meant to get actually slips through and gets put in the junk folder? So I have it set to go right to the junk folder and I manually delete them myself. But I'm doing this everyday. How many e-mails must I see about penis enlargement (not that we all don't want larger dicks, but please!), prescription drugs online, low mortgage rates, etc. I'm so sick of seeing these junk e-mails. And they are mostly from the same senders. Haven't they gotten the message that since I haven't gone to their site and bought something that I'm not interested? I won't even click on that “remove me” link because then they will see my address as an active address and keep sending me more. Is that true though? I mean, if you actually click on the remove me link, does it actually remove you from the list? Has anyone ever looked into that? And what about that spam legislation that was talked about awhile ago? Shouldn't I be getting less junk mail instead of more? I don't know what the recent law says but can't I sue some of these spamers and get a new computer out of it at least? I'm just so sick of my e-mail folders getting crammed with this shit. Before I got my own domain name, my ISP sent me a message saying my e-mail box was full and I'd have to empty it before getting any new e-mail. I couldn't believe it. I never save mail on the server. I always remove it. Sure enough, I went to the server and I had hundreds of junk e-mails that I had deleted from my local computer but not off the server. So now from time to time I have to go to the server and delete the mail so as not to get filled up with junk e-mail. I already have it set in my e-mail program to delete mail from the sever that is older then a month. But they send so much crap out that it gets filled up before it's able to delete it automatically. I thought I was being smart by creating a junk e-mail address and only using that address when I go to websites so that if they put it on some list I would know where it's coming from and could ignore that e-mail. I guess I'm just really frustrated with always having so much junk e-mail every time my e-mail program opens up for the first time of the day. I guess I'll just have to accept it or delete my addresses and start over. Who knows.
