Spam

I don't know why, but the rate of spam I was receiving has doubled and tripled in the last several days. I think I'm going to have to change my email address again. I'd sure like to know what everybody else is doing. I've heard there are "spam busting" programs out there, do any of you use them, and do they work? Thanks in advance for any suggestions/comments.

I don't use such proggy but one way I would deal with the spam is to leave that account in use for spam; even until a filter becomes available ... and have all the spam go to it. All the memos can be deleted at once without reading them.
Watch where the other e-mail addys are posted on the Internet and those accounts should remain 'clean'.
