Spam emails?

After joining this group I was bombarded with relatively obscene spam emails. I know they came as the result of joining the group because many of them used my Yahoo! username. They claimed I'd put an ad on Craigs list (which perhaps surprisingly I'd never heard of). Not much you can do about this apart from installing a spam filter, but I thought maybe others had been similarly afflicted and were wondering why.

I was wondering where I was getting all that spam all of the sudden!

I couldn't think of anything I did to get it.

David,

I've been in this group for some time without receiving any spam. Starting
last Thursday (6 Oct), I've received a number of porn/spam messages in my
Gmail account for the first time. I don't think it's anything to do with
this group.

Your email client (or webmail) should provide junk/spam filtering. I know
that OS X Mail and Gmail both do.

That's when it started for me. I was shocked to see it all of a sudden. It seems like it is subsiding. I wish I knew how to report it or get it to stop.

I apologize to everyone but the group was somehow compromised
about when your all saying. We had hoped it was not widespread
but it seems like it might be.

Brent has contacted Yahoo to try to track this person down as
it IS a member of the group, probably a new one that joined
around the time this all started.

It seems all the emails were from hotmail.com and if your using
gmail, you can setup a filter to block them out until we get
this figured out.

Yes, if your using gmail, setup a filter to block hotmail.com
just for now. I was getting them almost 1 per minute on the
first day so I had to do that. I also check email at work and
better to block all hotmail then have this show up.

I also have been getting these, and have contacted CL and told their legal dept. Having no resolution, I now redirect all the spam to legal@Craigslist.com.

I figure if anyone can post ads on Craigslist and not do a better job at security, they may as well share the wealth, so to speak.

These emails started about less than a week ago.

Viewing the 'Long Headers and raw source, they are going to my me.com email, which is what I use at yahoogroups.

I am a member of several groups, so it would be hard to pin it on just ONE group. I have been in THIS group for ages and never got any crud like this until a little under a week ago.

Sent to you by Bill Boulware via Google Reader: Apple sells over 1
million iPhone 4S handsets in first 24 hours via BGR: The Three Biggest
Letters In Tech by Jonathan S. Geller on 10/10/11



Apple has confirmed that the company has sold a mind-numbing number of
iPhone 4S devices in pre-orders, over one million of them. The previous
record was from last year���⒠��s iPhone 4 launch which totaled over 600,000
in one day. Apple had a larger amount of global carrier partners for
this year���⒠��s launch, including Verizon and Sprint in the U.S., but that
doesn���⒠��t take away from how incredibly impressive this is. Apple���⒠��s
Apple���⒠��s press release is after the break.



iPhone 4S Pre-Orders Top One Million in First 24 Hours

CUPERTINO, California���⒠��October 10, 2011���⒠��Apple���® today announced
pre-orders of its iPhone���® 4S have topped one million in a single day,

incredible new features including Apple���⒠��s dual-core A5 chip for blazing
fast performance and stunning graphics; an all new camera with advanced
optics; full 1080p HD resolution video recording; and Siri���⒤�, an

���⒠��We are blown away with the incredible customer response to iPhone 4S,���⒠��
said Philip Schiller, Apple���⒠��s senior vice president of Worldwide
Product Marketing. ���⒠��The first day pre-orders for iPhone 4S have been
the most for any new product that Apple has ever launched and we are
thrilled that customers love iPhone 4S as much as we do.���⒠��

iPhone 4S will be available at all 245 Apple retail stores in the US
beginning at 8 a.m. local time on Friday, October 14. Every customer
who buys an iPhone 4S at an Apple retail store will be offered free

setting up email, showing them new apps from the App Store���⒤� and more,
so they���⒠��ll be up and running with their new iPhone before they leave
the store.

iPhone 4S includes iOS 5, the world���⒠��s most advanced mobile operating
system with over 200 new features, and iCloud���®, a breakthrough set of
free cloud services that work seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad���®, iPod
touch���®, Mac���® or PC to automatically and wirelessly store your content
in iCloud and push it to all your devices.

You may want to check out Radio Shack. Yeah, I know, but a couple of months
ago I went in looking for a cable and got to talking with the clerk. They
were going to give my husband $18 for his 3GS which has pieces of the glass
missing because he's dropped it so much. They wanted to give me $280 for my
pristine Iphone 4. I don't know if they have preorders or will even have
phones on the 14th but it's something to look into.

My husband will be getting the new 4S since he's been waiting for months for
it to come out, but we will get it at Apple since he has an $80 Apple gift
card.

app reviews/recommendations

Mon Oct 10, 2011 8:03 am (PDT)



I'm a new member and am looking for a good place to get recommendations or
reviews of iPhone apps. Is that one of the purposes of this group?

Specifically, I'm looking for a good contact manager to sync with Outlook.
I'd also like to be able to search the database for a word(s) which might
appear in any field, ie 'carpet' or 'tile' or 'flooring' or 'piano', or part
of a phone number, ie 0818.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Peggy
