I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m getting really tired of spam in my ISU e-mail. Every student group, research project, survey, apartment and restaurant in Ames seems able to download massive lists of ISU e-mails and send out spam. It used to be once in a while, but now it’s over a dozen per day.

I can understand getting spam if you use your e-mail address as contact information at other Web sites and online businesses, but I never give people my ISU account, which says to me they are getting it through the ISU Web site.  Isn’t there something Iowa State can do to restrict some of these groups from getting our e-mails to use as spam targets? My important e-mails from work and professors are getting lost in the junk, and I doubt I’m the only one who feels this way.
