“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!
