    It'll just fill up with 5 or 10 megs of spam, and then stop receiving mail. What's the problem?

    Thats good then!
    then the spammers will leave it alone them?


    I just hate those 50kb spams that cost $$$ to download.

    If you want to get rid of mails quickly instead of downloading the spam and then having to clear it use http://webmail.eircom.net
    and login through your browser - saves hassle.
    There might be a filter option there for you.

    if its a subscription account u want to cancel, u have to ring that eircom.net number on the bill....they will tell u to send an e-mail to someone(cant remember who!) confirming your cancellation
    hope it helps :)

    if ya have a unix box with fetchmail handy:

    fetchmail -c -u username mail2.eircom.net -p pop3

    the -c checks the mail.
