I'd say that you were lucky.
I've been bouncing Spam now for almost 2 months and in that time it has more
than doubled.Many of the spamers use a different address and name 2 or 3
times a day.
What gets to me are all the offers we get that when you check say Residents
of US only, I think that this sort of thing makes up around 20% of what I
get, You ask to be removed, you bounce it and still it comes daily.
Oh yes..I am using Mailwasher.


I too used Mailwasher, bouncing all the emails. Most of the were
undeliverable, and I still kept receiving the same from the same . If I
had taken up all certain offers I would no longer be able to get out of bed
as I'd be front heavy and topple over! ;-))
Also I found that I had blacklisted myself. So I have reverted to Spam
Buster, which does not have the ability to bounce but is better at
blacklisting.
I am also experimenting with 40tude, but not bottomed it yest.
