Actually I solved my problem after receiving the first mail. Instead of disabling delivery I enabled daily digest and set a mail filter. Every thing now goes well. I've read mailing list guidelines and know it's polite to reply [solved]. But I think that's optional since I haven't seen [solved] in other threads. Next time I'll try to be more polite. > would you happen to be a spammer looking for answers to how folks eliminate > such spam, so you can get back to spamming? > > this is not to be offensive, just curios. > > regardless of what you do regarding receiving this list, you are still going > to receive spam. it is a fact of life that people have to learn to live with > when they have an email account and use it. > > you say 'mail-storm', yet you do not define how you are being stormed. > > you say 'they just mess up my mail-box', yet you do not say how it is > being messed up. > > Err...I once got about 40 mails a day. And at that time I was not using evolution or any other mail client. Instead I was reading mails on web. And I don't realized the filter can help me. It was really a nightmare( sorry if you don't like this word). That's quite a long list.
