An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
HELP!
For some reason, something called Boxbe has attached itself to my gmail account, and sends out rude emails to some, not all, of my contacts. This is REALLY starting to chap my hide! Does ANYONE know how to get rid of it??????
Ah HA! Thanks to Peter, via Facebook, I know what this annoying thing actually is, and I do think I solved the problem.
From CNET:
The big catch is that Boxbe isn’t actually a spam filter. It doesn’t do anything for spam that may be coming into your regular e-mail account, just the mail that is going to your Boxbe forwarding address. So if you already have a spam problem, this doesn’t look like it’ll be an ample solution. The ideal Boxbe customer is, at least in my opinion, a novice Internet user who’s just starting to use services that require e-mail registration. By plugging a Boxbe address into a social networking site or e-mail list, you can guarantee (according to the company) that you won’t be getting spam from it other than the stuff that you’re demanding cash for. But as for pre-existing spam, nada.
I got the ‘label’ domaflitchy deleted, and I no longer have one of those little icons that says my email is not safe. Not sure how, or who, attached it, but if you’ve gotten a nasty email from me, saying you aren’t ‘approved’, or some nonsense like that….I do apologize! HOPEFULLY, it won’t happen again. 
Thanks.
Yer welcome.
Might take a couple of days for it to completely go away. sigh…
