About 6 years ago my demon domain was once used as the return address on a spam run, and in five weeks I got about 25,000 bounced mails from dead addresses.. Over several evenings they were coming in faster than I could get rid of them.

I was on dial up at the time, and it wasnt any fun at all.

There was a report on the BBC news site last week saying that over 90% of all emails sent are now spam.....

I use mail washer now to scrub my mailbox before the mails come anywhere near my computer.
