somehow, my e-mail address got leaked out, and I get 80-100 spam e-mails per day, it is annoying!!

I get spam from sites selling viagra, stock quotes, and porn spam, and more.

I hate it, any ideas of what I can do???

If it's the new image based spam (that I'm getting several hundred of each day) there's not a lot you can do until someone comes up with a better filter to recognize and block it.Â Sad

Only permanent solution I've found is to hunt the slime down and put two rounds into their numbskulls. Other than that, with the image based spam, haven't found anything that works. Pain in the rear, and eats up resources (server, my time, my patience, ammunition)

Adding them to your blacklist is pointless because 80% of image based spam is sent by botnets and the average lifecycle of an URL used to send spams is 4 hours.

Quote:The average lifecycle of a domain used in a spam message was 48 hours in June of 2005. In that time the domain would be detected and added to blacklists. The average duration of a URL is now four hours or less. The quick changeover of Web addresses evades blacklists and also exploits domain registration.

Are those the ones that consist of gobbledygook if you have images blocked? > Sad
