That reminds me of my situation. I have about 30 email addresses published over the years for various reasons, including one from '92 that still receives valid mail. And I've always been a packrat. I get an average of 160 spam messages per day, about 100 of which are sent to addresses I still receive valid mail on. (The rest are addresses converted to spamtraps.) I was on the verge of abandoning all of my old addresses when I tried SpamAssassin, and now I keep them because SA takes care of 99% of the problem. I cringe every time someone says "what's the big deal, just press Delete." Try that when you have 15X as much spam as real email... -- Michael Moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "Every crowd has a silver lining." --Phineas Taylor Barnum ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
