Trouble with Spam

[marlboro]

Just checked my email. 46 messages since 10pm last night. 42 of these were spam.

I use mailwasher (www.mailwasher.net) to delete mail before downloading. I've also encoded my mailto link on my website using unicode charactors.

Apart from changing my email address are there any other things I can do to reduce this junk??

42 spam messages, I see your 42 spam messages and raise you 600 in a similar time scale

We ended up moving accounts and stopped using it all together...

Thanks docevi1, at least its not just me.

I'll continue to use mailwasher and see how it goes.

Does that stop spambots finding it? If so please tell us how to do it!
