Re: Fighting the spam email battle

Chas,

I'm sorry to say it won't help.
Spammers broadcast to collections of email addresses numbering in the tens (or even hundreds) of millions, and are counting on very very small percentage in reply "hits" to be successful.
Some of them even embed 'web bug' URL bombs in their email which phone-home as soon as someone opens the email in html mode.

Our servers at work encounter 75-100 thousand junk emails per day.

I'm personally seeing 500 to 600 spams per week to my junk personal email address I use for sites I don't trust. It's obnoxious.

It sounds like you have a good strategy for dealing with the problem. Once your address is 'out there', it will continue to get spammed forever.
