Re: [OT] Sky emails - word of warning

["kw1816" <kw1816@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I bought my own domain name for just this reason - quick plug for=20
http://www.123-reg.co.uk who I've found
faultless.

It allows for forwarding of any emails to that domain, as well as=20
blocking tools. Every time I've signed up for something for anything=20
like this I always put the email address as, for instance,=20
sky_offer@xxxxxxx . This way I can tell who's selling my=20
email address on :-(  and block any I don't want.

To be fair, in all the online signups there's been only a very few=20
I've felt like blocking and complaining about. Of course the various=20
newgroup emails addresses I've used, even when munged, have ended up=20
blocked due to the amount of tinned meat arriving.

Worth a thought ?
