RE: Re: [OT] Sky emails - word of warning

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I actually do this as well - and all emails get forwarded to me
with a SPAM checker running on my Exchange server.

My gripe was with Sky - they have a 'tick here' to let us share your
details with other companies OUTSIDE Sky group - but this is the problem,
you can't stop them sharing your email around the various Sky departments,
which is why I was bombarded with email for all kinds of Sky products I
don't want.

Paul.
