Prefix vs. watchword

Postby rahim » Wed Mar 03, 2004 9:16 pm

Howdy, I am one of the recent victims of attempted USENET mailbombing thru creation of disposable addresses that I never wanted.

I have watchword protection now. What's the diff. between using a prefix and using a watchword?

The prefix is "legacy" and watchwords are the preferred method. This is because you can come up with better strategies using watchwords.

hello,

i'm using > 100 sg adresses and today i received Spam that created a new adress for the first time.

since i don't want to enter > 100 watchwords, i prefer the prefix, works fine :)

btw: thanks for this great service!

regards,
gun

ok -- please be aware that you wouldn't need 100 watchwords -- 1 would probably work. They only operate on the creation of new addresses; they don't affect existing addresses.
