I believe we should make the server owners responsible for sending those 300,000 Email for $35. My filters work well which makes the occassional spam that much more annoying.

I also check for special words and do the same. I get 300 to 500 emails perday and it has become impossible to read each one. I also use filters that put a large number directly into trash thou it does reject some legitimate emails. I use Firefox and if an address is in my adddress book it goes to a special folder.

That seemed to work very well. Perhaps we could create a no-spam e-mail list. And while we're at it, how about a no junk-mail mailbox list? The Libertarian in my is going into convulsions, but our economy is driven by advertising and it's starting to become excessive. We solved the spam phone-call problem by establishing a no-call list.

None of my five children (all adults) check their email with any regularity. My oldest does when she is in school because she is in a distance learning program. So I have to call them on the telephone to get messages out to the family. They don't answer the home phone anymore either. They use cell phones almost exclusively.
