Mac Users Sound Off: Free Is Good, Spam Is Not.
Tops on the list from Mac users is spam. Everyone gets it, some get little, some get loaded down.
Dan Knight from LowEndMac has a new spam tool. This is one I haven’t tried yet but it gets good marks from a number of Mac users. “Dan” says…
“I use Sp@mX to send abuse messages to the ISPs that allow spam onto the Net. It takes a while each day, but I’m dealing with an average of over 300 spams per day. Numbers are slowly dropping - expect a report on Low End Mac in.... (excerpted).

I get about 1 spam message per month! I manage 3 email addresses carefully. One for family and friends, one for business (computer consulting) and one for when I need to supply an email address to someone who has no legitimate reason to have my email address. The latter gets eliminated every other month, and replaced with a new one. As an experiment, I put the junk mail address out where I knew it would be added to spam lists. I started getting 60 spam messages per day. I bounced all the spam messages for a month and a half till it went to zero. lesson—manage your addresses properly!
