I was well over 100 spams a day, due to having multiple email addresses,
posting to the news groups a lot, and having a web site with hundreds of
individual pages, each with my email on it.

Changing the email addresses would have inconvenienced my
contributors/customers/suppliers/relatives/friends.

However, after some work and about $20 in expense, all but about 50 to 100
spams a day are flushed away and I never see them.

Of the ones I still get, the funniest are the ones supposedly from the
people who manage the email services for my domain. Since "I" am the only
one who manages my domain, I tend to be a bit suspicious!


I get about 60 a day.

I use Spam Pal to kill them. Works like a champ. I'm seeing maybe 1 or 2
a day that get through the filter, but my in-box is back in control.

I use a Barracuda Box at the office: http://www.barracudanetworks.com/

I also include this page on all my web pages (hidden from users of course):

http://www.detritus.org/cgi-bin/spidersmack.cgi

What it does, is cause the spammers to spam themselves. I get about
four robot hits a day, so they are really killing themselves.
