The Basics

Does RCN or Erols sell our email addresses to spammers?

So where do the spammers get our addresses?

Does Erols do any spam blocking?

Why can't Erols block all of the junk email?

I just need *one* address blocked from sending me email. Can Erols do that?

What networks are being blocked by Erols?

I follow the "remove" instructions, but it never seems to work! What can I do?

How do I get this junk email when it's not even addressed to me?

I've heard about some proposed laws that will make junk email illegal. What's RCN's take on these proposed laws?

Look! I'm *SICK* of all this junk email, and I don't ever want to receive any again! What can I do?

What's the difference between mailspam@rcn.com and abuse@rcn.com?

I'd like to learn more about spam and what I can do to stop it for good. Can you recommend anything?
