I use Mailwasher and it works pretty good. I don't open any of my spam, just delete and bounce all of it. But for about 3 months now I've been getting the same spam message over and over. It's being sent about 8 per hour or almost 200 per day. I bounce every one back but it doesn't help. This is the sender and title:
Vanessa(alma47371@sunlink.net) - "We have the cheapest medications" I just wondered if anyone else has the same spammer hitting them. I also wonder how he can rotate his list so quickly to send that many everyday and why it's worth it to send the same message to the same person when it all gets bounced back? I guess I just don't understand the mind or reasoning of a spammer. |

I had to turn off my Brad@ALL914.com email address because it was all over Google from the old DGI.net 914club classifieds... No more spam.
I like mailwasher.. it does work well. Hi Andrew (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wavey.gif) B |

Is Mailwasher a client program, or something to be loaded on the server like Spam Assassin?

Yes.. I will be at Buttonwillow (confirmed this yesterday) We will be running a RSR EVO in the Enduro and sprint race.
Mailwasher goes on your computer and watches the incoming mail. B |

The spammer doesn't care about you bouncing the mail back to them. They are using a forged address anyway so your bounce is not going anywhere.
