Can anyone explain how to kill wavedir.com spam?
I have set up filters but they're not working... at all.
Total spam & I can't imagine ANYONE responding to these. Just annoying.

Hamphouse - as for the reason for the reject you can just key in what you want. You can put in there, "Because I Hate YOU" and leave that as the reason for the rejection. Personally I want to put a couple other statements in there, but they wouldn't be appropriate for this venue.

I came here with the same problem. Some were being filtered, but some not. I realized my mistake was I was filtering by wavedir in the Subject, not the From field. Hopefully changing it to that will fix it!

Well, without reading this whole thread, has anyone yet received a useful answer to this question? I am open to any kind of legal counter attack. I'm just sayin'

Just on a whim, in a dangerous act of desparation, I performed a web search for each of the web addresses that were mentioned in the body of one of the MANY messages that I have received from wavedir.com.
I was not very surprised to find that neither of the two addresses listed in the most recent mail I received from wavedir were valid.
Dear Comcast,
Surely there are some legal avenues that you could pursue on our behalf to minimize this harrassing invasion. Please Do!

Guys. I haven't had wavedir mail in a week now. Not even filtered to my junk. I'm not saying this is the answer because I have no clue, really, but it's the only thing I think I am doing differently than you all. IN ADDITION to creating junk rules that send wavedir to junk, I would visit the junk box each day and forward each wavedir email AS AN ATTACHMENT to missed-spam@comcast.net. That way you are informing Comcast directly about each and every piece of junk. I think if everyone flooded this box with their wavedir spam, wouldn't they be more inclined to work on this problem in an expeditious manner? Just try it. It's a PITA but for now mine has stopped. I'll report back if it starts back up again.
Oh, and I never once tried unsubscribing. I didn't want to risk it.

That's what I meant by "useful answer".
THANK YOU!

If they are a legitimate company why don't they mail from a wavedir.com account. I got the same advertisement from 5 different addresses. That seems to be the definition of SPAM to me.

Hahaha...
I did as rhino suggested, and by chance, I still had 20-30 wavedir messages still in my trash. I started sending each of them to the comcast mail address that rhino shared. I don't recall how far down the list I got, but comcast sent me a message that I've never seen before, saying that I had reached the maximum messages sent for "this session".
I wonder if wavedir has ever seen that message from its provider (I know the answer).
Anyway, I'm having fun with this, as long as I can continue to avoid real malicious damage.

My wife has been having the problem for about three or four days and came to me with the issue. Here is what I did this morning and it seems to work. We use Outlook and so I set up a few rules to move the message into the "Junk" folder when it arrives. If you look at the url of the incoming emails, I selected a few common "words" and by clicking on the message with the right mouse button, selecting "Rules" and then selecting the message options you can create a list of those words (apparently some are foreign) that are in the sending url data. Some seem to be in each one I looked at near the beginning. I then ran the rule against the emails sitting in the inbox and it removed all of them. If you don't know how to use the "Rules" function use your search engine or go to Microsoft if you have Outlook. In addition, you might, very carefully, pick words that are in the Subject line and set rules to remove them as well but you might accidentally block other emails you would want to get if this rule is applied generally. I would not recommend doing this for most people.

Thanks, Ken,
I have acted on your advise... we'll see how it turns out.
I also did the same to those pesky Amazon Aws blasts.
Do you know of any reason why I would possibly desire any messages from this hidden reply address?

If you are suggesting we click on the unsubscribe link in their email - that is the number one way to get your computer hacked. Never click on anything in an email unless you are sure who sent it and what it is.
