Re: [Asrg] subverting ISACS

I have recently tried and failed to delete an e-mail address; it seems
the ISP does not cater for the contingency.

The address concerned is an alias, defined via services on the ISP
website.  It got spam trashed (spashed?)
so I went to the website and deleted the alias.  The spam continued to
come.  I went back to the website and checked; the alias does not exist.
I raised a support incident. Support suggest I use a new e-mail address.
Well yes but how do I get rid of the old one?  Change ISP?  or will they
follow me there with this deluge of spam?

This suggests that the concept of giving up an e-mail address is not yet
a reality for the average user:-(
