Remove me from your mailing list.

Thanks for that. But, if it is the kind of email that comes from random addresses, is there a way to stop it? Or, is this a different subject?

For what it's worth, I was never complaining about emails. I mean physical mail coming to my house from coin dealers I've bought from on ebay.

 

Random ones there’s not really anything you can do other than just mark it as spam or delete it. It’s honestly just quicker to do a mass deletion every morning then respond to them. The Fake paypal ones especially, I believe it’s actually worse responding like the robo calls as it shows you’re an active address.

 

This. Don't respond to them.

 

RETURN TO SENDER is a joke, many times.

I had some mail sent to a different name at my address.

1. I wrote return to sender and put it back in the mail.
2. The letter came right back to me.
3. I then sharpies out the plastic window and put it back in the mail.
4. Mail carrier cut out the plastic window to see the original address, and then sent it BACK TO ME.
5. It turns out it was someone's debit card, so I paid the 50c postage myself and sent it directly back to Bank of America.

Moral: RETURN TO SENDER either gets the piece thrown away, or returned right back to you

 

I have a solution to this but it wouldn't help you. I would just use procmail https://system.cs.fsu.edu/procmail/ - Otherwise use can use the filters in thunderbird

 

Just saw a study that said it makes no difference if you naswer or not. I usually don't.

 

I think that's against the law.

 

If it's bulk/junk mail, the carrier just tosses it in the trash dumpster when they get back to the station. So basically all you'll be doing is having the carrier throw it away. The sender will not know this and will continue sending the bulk/junk mail to your address. And if I was your neighbor, I'd be po'ed if you were putting your junk mail in my mail box. To me that ranks right up there with you letting your dog dump on my lawn and not picking it up. But no hard feelings, I know you probably wrote that as a joke.

 

Thats actually illegal anyways.

 

Finally! someone gets it!

I am cognizant of my ability to be a pita to members. Sometimes, I enjoy the responses, accordingly.

As to my closest neighbor, if anyone thinks I am going to walk a 1/2 mile to tinker in the mailbox of someone, at my age, and my wandering mind, then that someone has not lived a full and happy life.

I don't have a dog. I have, though, been known on occasion.... well, never mind. I understand the point.

Of course toss it away. I am not going to waste my time with the grumpy old man....or the alternative old man yells at cloud.....act, and start a I will show you campaign of writing and walking back to the mailbox to send it back, with hrmpff notes on it.

My wife is still a vibrant person with an active libido. I am crazy, but not stupid about which choice I would make with my unencumbered time.

 

As stated by @VistaCruiser69 it was my understanding (told by a mail carrier) that if it is bulk or third class mail, it simply gets thrown away, so it does no good to try to return it.

 

As for unwanted mail, I believe you can be added to a list, like the "Do Not Call" list, but don't have that site address handy at the moment.

 

I've received catalogs from major auction houses for years and never considered it a security risk. I have a big mail box, and others would have to see the mailman actually placing them in the box to know I receive them. Many arrive in envelopes or boxes that do not give a clue as to what's inside. For long term reference, I prefer PDFs but enjoy looking through the paper catalogs. Sometimes I spot something I "need" that I missed online. When auctions are over, I donate the catalogs to the local friends of the library for their weekly support sale. The catalogs sell quickly.

My most valuable coins reside in a safety deposit box.

None of the ones I'm getting come in boxes or envelopes.

Are you sure you're not Elvis in disguise?

 

If they send you a return envelope with postage paid, let them pay the return postage!! Fill the envelope with several pages and write stop sending me this junk on each page!! Maybe they'll get the message!!!

 

I used to send them ritz crackers
