I use Virginmedia for broadband and Easyspace for website/email.  I've 
had my domain for years and it beats sending 90 odd emails when I swap 
provider - and all the websites that have variations, e.g this one is 
obviously for lists, I have others for shopping, banking, webmaster, 
postmaster etc.  Best thing (to me) is the ability to junk one if it 
starts getting spammed to death.  On that subject this one may go bybyes 
soon due to a nasty upturn in spam.  I'm fighting the urge to junk my 
main address which sadly is getting 50+ spams per day.  Also if you have 
a separate domain for your website you can always use your broadband ISP 
space as a mirror :)

Anyone know how long it takes a spammer's software to notice an email 
address is bouncing and stop sending to it?

Kind regards,

Julian
