Well on the other end of the spectrum, I get 50 ~ 60 spam messages a day. I have about 20 or so filter rules in place to take care of them. I also run custom scripts that examine headers for the spammers ISP and generate an email to the abuse team. [rant] If I had my way, anyone affiliated with the promotion of spam would be taken outside and shot. First in the knees and then in the head. The only people I hate more than spammers are the idiots who read spam and then buy something advertised within, propagating the vicious cycle. Their fate is best decided by the new penis enlargment / hair growth / debt solution, they have just acquired. I dream of a day when enlightened ISPs will understand that it is more cost effective to keep spam off their networks than it is to keep investing in the infrastructure that conveys it.
