Yes, I was getting tons of it. I got like 35 of them in my inbox one day last week....the first time I'd ever seen them. I figured I pissed off a german who had trouble registering for my site and he signed me up for spam. :P

Just getting a few in my bulk folder now. Good job yahoo! I'm actually surprised they haven't cancelled my account yet...sending tons of nearly identical emails to addresses all over the world...

Heh, not since I turned on Greylisting on my domain's control panel. That stopped about 95% of the spam coming in. Only the persistent spammers that try to resend mail through the same server seem to get in, but those are usually legitimate spammers and easy to get off their mailing list.

Beavis: Yeah! Yeah! Cool!

Yeah that means a helluva lot to me, Corny...:| I'll just go ahead and turn on my bluelisting on my dominant remote control panel, and BAM! No more Spam. B|

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.

My boss is!

Not me though.



My boss is too and everytime he gets one, he calls me in there and tries to read it to me like he speaks German or something... and then turns to me and asks me if I know what it means.... I'm like wtf, how would I know? [:/]

Sober.Q, its primarly spreading on the home user side and the corparate side is fairly quite.

Go to http://vil.nai.com/vil/stinger/ and grab the Stinger tool and run it on your PC if you are not up to date on your AV software. Its only purpose is to hit hot viruses so the lower profiled viruses are not on the list. It is not a protector, just a cleaner. If you come back as infected run an AV protct and keep it updated!!!

SA rocks. I work with a much customized version of it daily and I am still amazed at how low my spam numbers are. I just worked in an environment with 12000 users and total spam that was let through and reported was less then 15 for a week. Thats damn good numbers. Go SA and SK!
