This is all alien to me, to be fair, but I’m going to do my best to try and describe this site for you, thus allowing you to make an informed decision about going there or not, and keeping your street cred in tact. If you’re a geek—or a geekazoid as some people in my neck of the woods like to call this sublimely strange race–—then you’ll probably have heard about it in Geek Times or whatever magazine is all the rage for those who have an I.Q. of 200 or over. If not, read on.

OK, so www.geeks.com is all about providing geeks, ethical geeks / nerds / dorks etc with the best computer software. Whatever your fancy, be it stamp-collecting or extreme computer stroking—don’t laugh, I am sure it exists!—you’ll find it at this site in copious amounts.

Now, here’s the thing: I can’t really see how this website is any different than a conventional high-street store type thing. But I suppose that is to be expected, seeing as I know next to nothing about being a geek. But there is plenty to feast your eyes on: there are pictures, specifications, little geeky symbols everywhere and everything you could ever need to feel completely at home if you’re that way inclined.

So really quickly, I have something to admit. I love Number 6 (sorry Naomi). I was going through the last season on dvd well into the night and the acting was remarkable! I would highly recommend this one to all of you…

I personaly have been caught with one phishing scams where I sent money via world pay for a ebay product.

However I personally have been effected by spam in a different way; My ligitamate email marketing is becoming more and more ineffective every day. With ever new scammer who gets his figure on a $15 spamming software, the world email filters get more and more paranoid.

The main point I learn were:

1. Keep the email size over 20K
The majority of spam email are under 20K, so SpamAssassin (A spam killer that works onm a point systyem, get too high a spam score and your email gets flagged up) gives a higher score for a message under 20K in size.

2. Check your list for Spam flag lists.
This has actually happen to me twice, people sign you up to anti-spamming email address to get you in toruble. It is recommended you scan your list for any email address that start with things like: abuse@, postmaster@, or nospam@. Have said that now I have gone on to a confirmation email I haven't had this problem since.

3. Avoid desktop emailing software
The majority of spammer use desktop e-mailing software so to avoid gettign penalised it is well worth picking a clean web hosted software that is fairly well established and used by more high profile clientel. Try to avoid these:
