I have had a ten fold increase in spam over the last couple of days.

We have found that if you bounce spams (envelope rejection), you are
soon taken off the mailing lists. When the address harvesters guarantee
to provide, x million active addresses, they mean *active*. A bounce is
not an active address!!

We know this because recently, when my spousal unit got his new machine,
he sent just *one* measly little post to his news group before
remembering to hide his email address. Within hours we were receiving
spams and within 24 this amounted to dozens. We then changed our active
mail box and bounced everything from the old mail box. Within a week we
were receiving only the odd spam and now don't seem to receive any.

Believe me BOUNCING SPAM WORKS )))))))))))))
