Just so you know, I work at a university also and I get these spam emails, BUT my started before signing up with Histonet. Spammers are very good at targeting Universities because once they figure out how the university assigns email address it's just a matter of going through a list. So, I wouldn't blame histonet.

Well, that stuff below your signature is worse than any previous spam
I've had.
LOL
Odd how experiences can be so different too. I guess it's a matter of
luck whether you get caught in the address trawl.
Whether corporate spam filters are better I doubt. We have just had a
trial of one, and it picked up about 5%. (Plus another 10% that was not
spam).

Jan,
I have been a member of Histonet for over a year now and I have never
received but one or two emails like you describe and some of those were
before I signed up for histonet. Your University spam filter may not be
working? Good Luck.

Ever since I subscribed to the Histonet, I've been receiving a lot of
spam every day (mostly from people in Africa/Europe, either telling me
I've won the lottery or asking me for my bank account number so that
they can smuggle money out of their country).
I can understand receiving this spam if this was a private home email
account, with medium security levels, but I work at a University that
has a very tight security system on their incoming email, so the only
thing I can figure out is that this mail is getting through via a
Histonet member's addressbook.
I must have to delete 10-15 of these spams a day (it's the only spam I
get, too). Very frustrating. Anybody have any suggestions as to how to
eliminate these pesky creatures? Blocking the Sender doesn't work; they
just change their addresses.
