Georgina Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 I am getting these about 50 a day, it's really getting on my nerves. I wish this bloomin Viagra was never invented.[:@] And WHY do they want to give me an extension to something I don't have?Georgina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluestick Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 In all probability, Georgina, with the wonders of medical science in California, next month you'll be spammed with surgical offers after which one would probably need the Viagra!

All you have to do is add Brittany Ferries to your contacts list. I must say that a lot of what used to be in my hotmail junk mail file does not even get there now, its rare for more than 10 messages a week to be in there compared with orange where there is often 200 a week. Want a watch anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Brittany Ferries have probably got themselves into SPAM filters gor good reason -they send quite a bit of unsolicited mail and their "unsubscribe" does not work very well (in that you "unsubscribe" and then continue to get irrelevant and unwanted sales mails from them.Whilst they might not be at quite the level of getting your e-mail address from dubious sources and hiding/changing the "from" address it can still be irritating, particularly when you keep unsubscribing and the messages continue.I suspect that people have complained (or after the nth message and nth unsubscribe attempt started marking them as SPAM on their ISP systems). To avoid having your messages flagged and handled as SPAM a bulk sender has to manage their mail lists responsibly and BF have not yet realised this.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
