    yeh, its strange I never used to get spam, but recently even on my ISP account I get spam. One tip I can give is when you get spam, and in the end it says, email back or click a link to unsubscribe, it is seeing that your email is valid, so if you reply you are bound to get more spam...

    but thats not the case all the time. Is there a spam blocker out there which filters spam from regular addresses? etc!

    I just block the ads that come in that I don't want. Lately, I've had to block a bunch of e-mail addresses that have been advertisng penis elargements...and so has one of my buds. I'm not sure if there is some sort of spam blocker as I haven't really looked.
