David I regularly receive forwarded emails from a friend which she has sent to dozens of others which shows their email addresses which must be picked up by spammers. I do not respond to any spam yet I am receiving more and more each day. I will take a look at Mailwasher recommended by Bob Wilson. Many thanks Peter PS: I like your website. > You have posted you address some where or it was harvested from some email > that that was sent whit all of the addresses in the header. > There is NOT much one can do, but wait for the rush to settle down.

I find it comes and goes in waves. I was receiving a lot of junk email over the past week or so. Not much in the last 24 hours. I find that my Gmail handles the Junk VERY WELL. I scan it daily. As well, I have numerous Gmail Accounts. When I am signing up for something unknown or the least little bit suspicious, I use one particular email address. I have found this strategy to limit any spam on my primary email account. Regards, Kevin.

Nivard Since you have must have used MailWasher, you know that it actually eliminates a step. That of deleting all the spam from your Inbox, because it never gets downloaded.
