[PLUG-TALK] Online greeting cards - DON'T!

[Keith Lofstrom]

Just a reminder for some of our newer friends:

If you are ever tempted to use one of those online greeting card
sites, DON'T.  If one of your friends or relatives does, admonish
them with a two by four.  These sites collect email addresses for
spammers.  One of my wife's relatives gave her address to one of
these criminal organizations, and now she (with one email address)
is gettimg more spam than I get with a half-dozen.   And that is
AFTER grey-listing and Spamassassin; at the front end, she must be
getting three or four spams a minute.  Time to re-tune Spamassassin.

Sigh.

Keith
