    The moment some spammer finds your adress, you're screwed for life.

    Because it went from none to many spam a day, the exact same criminal is responsible for ALL the spam you get right now.

    Spam won't die until nobody reacts on spam. Currently an approx. staggering 3% of all people, really DOES (or did) react on spam!! That's a huge number, since billions of people are using email.

    I spent the weekend away and after two days I had 168 emails of which only three were not spam. There has been a serious increase in spam in the last few months so maybe the two just coincided. I check my mail using POP and use Spamihilator to filter the spam.

    As stated, use the spam button to train the server. If you want an

    email address that filters 98% of spam get a gmail account for personal email. It actually works and you get more storage and features than you'll ever use .

    Use the spam button. The more training you give the sytem, the harder it is to defeat.
