download mailwasher, it picks up all your mail off the server so you can preview it. Stops spam eventually too.

Dont ever reply to spam!

All it does is prove they have found a live email account.

I had to give up on my email address and start a new one cos i was getting 40 or 50 a day.
Every month or so - i would just delete everything, but I had an automated reply that said something like "fuck you spammer, if i havent given you my new address it means i dont want to hear from you!"

It got worse and worse, till i removed the auto reply.

Now its more like 3 or 4 a day.
