This is just ¤#"%&¤#&¤ :disgust::|

257 spam e-mail in one day. All of them came from Mailer Deamon or Postmaster saying my e-mail could not be delivered.
I'm sick and tired of this. Someone sold my e-mail and is using it to spam others.
WTH can I do?

I know I could change it but this e-mail has the 'best adress' and so on.
Would it help to contact my ISP about this?

Someone listed your email address as the from/reply to address when they started spamming. All the bounces for that spam come back to do. Really nothing you can do about it in practical terms.

The obvious thing to do is to make some new filters.
All mails that contains those words will be deleted. Let's see how it works out.

:cool:

Your member name is fitting. Go have a :beer: and then go to work on the delete key. ;)

Same, I get about 250 spams per day also and it helps somewhat, I still have to do alot of manual work though.
