Of course I have. About 50-60 get through. William was suggesting that it was a bad thing.

I have been around the internet for getting on for a decade. You will be where I am in a year or two. It is a total nightmare.

I thought that sender ID would fix the problem but I am already getting spam where each mail is from a different nonsense domain name (ABCGGG5.COM sort of thing) which no doubt authenticates with no problem.

I sometimes miss real emails but it has not yet reached a point where email is becoming unusable for me. However this is only a matter of time.

I am not an anti-spam nazi because those guys are doing as much to destroy email as a medium as the spammers are. Just totally frustrated that some somewhere can't just do something...

            I do not suggest that spam filters are a bad thing but I do suggest that it should be up to the individual and not the ISP to decide what is spam or not. The other thing you jus ...
