im not shocked that you get a lot of spam as you publish your full email address on your website Tony.
Email spambots collect email addresses from the net in order to build mailing lists for sending unsolicited e-mail or spam. Such spambots are web crawlers that gather e-mail addresses from Web sites, newsgroups, special-interest group (SIG) postings, and chat-room conversations. Because e-mail addresses have a distinctive format, spambots are easy to write.

a small charge could be imposed on each email like a text say 2 pence perhaps people wouldn't send the crap then

i leave my computer for a few days and i get, literally, thousands of junk emails

from teusday evening to thursday evening i had 3,000+ emails, and around 300 of them were from passionford telling me someone had replied to a post, about 10 were from tesco offering me cheap insurance and books, a few more were from friends, but the rest were telling me that i should look at scanitly clad celebrities, enlage my birth, send her to ecstasy, make me a millionare, final demands from paypal before "my accounts are frozed" and other such subjects

and these are the ones that get through the spam filter

i'll find some over thwe weekend and post them up, they really are quite hilarious

I get it all the time on the main e-mail at work!

We have e-mail scanners via our antivirus, and constantly add the offending address' to the Junk and Adult content filters and yet they STILL come through!

Fucking pisses me off spending 5/10 minutes every morning wading through the shit just to see if we've actually got some decent business in! Cunts!

run a well trained SpamAssassin with RBL's and you can minimize spam.. I get 2 or 3 a week at the most across my four mail accounts
