I'll buy Frans a gin company and a hangar full of flight jackets.
JJ a sheep ranch
DSJ a vineyard
Lisa a chimney pot
JDC a box at WHL
TR a lifesize xwing fighter
Larry, Paulie etc a new muscle American Choperesque Harley
Terry his own race team

and everybody else whatever they want...

You see if I add my Nigerian money to all the money I'll make from my forwarded email that is working as a beta test for Microsoft and AOL...I'll be a multi billionaire!!!!!!!!

Open up a web based e-mail account like gmail, hotmail, yahoo and etc and use that address on the internet. Keep private ISP e-mail accounts restricted to family and close friends.

Our company works with Postini and it's scary to see how much e-mail they filter. Spammers suck.

Vu,

Very good advice there.............I agree.

Heh - I remember when folks would get mad at you for calling unsolicited mass-email SPAM. Oh well. Kind of like the misuse of hacker/cracker... everyone got tired of making the correction. In the old days, SPAM -only- referred to unsolicited mass Usenet postings.

Anyway, the corporate space has had this issue solved for years. Network-based anti-spam services like MessageLabs have been the gold standard for a long time since they save the transit capacity. The unwanted messages never traverse the link to the corp email server. MessageLabs is listed as the MX record for the zones they provide service to. They scrub the inbound mail and relay only the valid messages to the corp email server(s).
