Time for a lot of folks to invest a couple of dollars in some spam sieve option from your IPS. Third party programs can be a bit dodgy for blocking spam. I have secured mine pretty well and rarely see much spam as it has been filtered between the server and my Mail program. As Marty said, we are a profitable target at present, so if you are not happy deleting the spam, then contact your provider for options.
Oh, and if you have a 'Bounce' feature in your Mail Program, then NEVER use it, as it works in exactly the opposite way that you would believe, it's similar to answering spam and giving the green light that your eMail is in fact valid.

And I must've been born under a lucky star: I've won the same lottery about five times!

G'day Robin...

As I sit here with my dog needing $3500 worth of vets bills, both my children are suffering from a rare and incurable disease which even the doctors know little about, I personally have to have $5000 so I can pay my mechanics bill so I can continue to work for as much as I can scrape together, otherwisw he'll confiscate my ute and then I am euchered. My aging mother needs the comforts that the nursing home can't provide... like food and med bills, and I have a dear friend who is in prison at present for a crime he never heard of and needs a lawyer fairly sharpish.

I will p/m you my bank details in the fond hope that you can help me along financially after winning not one but five bloody lotteries on the trot.... geezus... I cant even afford to buy a ticket in one lottery... which brings to mind if you would buy me a ticket also because you seem to be more lucky than me, even if I could afford to buy one.

Bless ya girl...

Good on you Croc :)
I must have a lucky family. My husband and I both won one million euros on the same day. It was in the snail mail, not the email, but who cares :!: As soon as it hits my bank account, I'll send some along :lol: :lol:
And Heather, you can have some too :lol: :lol:
