[CLUE-Tech] email address hijacked by spammers

[Keith Hellman]

When I've had Email addresses hijacked (it only seems to happen to my
yahoo account), I just ride out the storm.  Maybe a new procmail rule
straight into /dev/null but the hassle usually subsides.

Don't mean to be hijacking the thread but I wanted to point out:
- if your tired of the Yahoo web interface, try YoSucker
  (http://yosucker.sourceforge.net/).  I read *my* yahoo mail in mutt
  :^)
- speaking of which, if you are tethered to the console look and feel,
  then mutt provides similar 'folder-hooks' for automatic selection of
  Email headers depending on the Email or folder your reading from.
  Sounds alot like what Kmail does; I suspect most MUAs do this now a
  days (btw, where is match with the anticipated Sypleed plug? :^)

So I am actually not a big fanatic about having tools that figure out your
problems for you. Because if you need tools for that, you design[ed] something
wrong in the first place.
