Tired of Email Forwards: StopForwarding will send your friend a polite mail

8/05/2008

Tired of receiving email forwards from your friends, whose email address you don’t want to block. You might not also want to write back and tell him/her not to send forwards anymore.

Try StopForwarding. You can simple add your friend’s name and email address at this site and they will send your friend a polite email asking him/her not send anymore spam emails and that spamming is bad. They won’t include your name in the email.

Well, I tried to add one of my colleagues’ email address to the site just for kicks. And you know what? I got an error message saying ‘An email has already been sent to this email address, in last 1 month. We do not promote spam. Use a different email address.’ :-)

    I’ve had problems with friends forwards being full of bugs…
    My computer will throw me offline.

    One friend though does send cute pics of her kids which I love to see,but the other friend seems to think meaningless
    nonsense forwards are a means of communication.

    Another friend told me she feels one of her friends is
    angry with her and sends forwards to waste her time.
    Forwards with racey pics I especially hate.
