What is Spam?
Also known as Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE), Spam is an e-mail message sent to a large number of people without their consent. It is usually sent to promote a product or service, sometimes a product or service that is offensive. You can learn more about spam at the MindSpring Help Desk. Is SpaminatorTM service mandatory?
No! The SpaminatorTM won't start spaminating until you tell it to. Just follow the SpaminatorTM link on the Account Management page or use the link at the bottom of this page. If you find yourself missing the messages the SpaminatorTM stops, simply return to the Account Management page and turn it off. How does SpaminatorTM service
work?
The new and improved SpaminatorTM uses sophisticated techniques developed by MindSpring to determine which messages are spam and which aren't. Among other things, we filter e-mail based on the point of origin and headers. E-mail passing through certain domains, such as Cyberpromo.com, is almost certainly spam. MindSpring's Abuse department keeps the SpaminatorTM up to date according to internal tests and reports of spam by customers. Here's an up-to-date list of the domains the SpaminatorTM is currently monitoring. Why improve the Spaminator?
Spammers are committed to finding new and more efficient ways to send you e-mail you don't want. In turn, we at MindSpring are committed to fighting spam to make your Internet life more enjoyable. As you let us know about new spammers, MindSpring's Abuse department will continue to update the SpaminatorTM to keep them out of your way. Will this stop all spam e-mail from reaching me?
MindSpring doesn't guarantee that all unwanted e-mail will be removed from your e-mail box, but the SpaminatorTM will certainly reduce the current level. Although there's no fool-proof method of eliminating spam, MindSpring is committed to developing new ways to combat the problem, and to maintaining a high level of performance for our customers.

is the new one already working for me?
