Still Getting Spam

   It's been about 5 months since I blogged about new rules governing spam e-mails, where corporations and/or entities doing so could face things like fines. The whole idea was to keep in-boxes from being flooded with garbage like this:

   Which I've been getting quite a bit of just this week alone. I have not (nor ever would) signed up to be on their mailing list of these and other spammers, and yet the legislation enacted this summer is supposed to keep these at bay. I have, in fact, made good use of the "unsubscribe" tab on an awful lot of other email, but the examples I gave don't have it. And I'm not about to hit "reply" on any of them, over concerns about inadvertently downloading a nasty bug or something.
   I simply mark them as "junk", which doesn't really help, since they come from different senders. I guess I'll have to talk to my techie to see what, if anything, he can do to keep this stuff out of my in-box.
