Azlan, that's an excellent point. We all need to secure our systems not only for our own protection, but to safeguard others' information as well. Tara, if spam is completely overwhelming you may have to change your email addresses. But make sure you have a system in place first. Don't post the new ones on any sites and use a Baysian spam filter (and you've got to stick with it for a while to "train" it). More info about the different types of filters can be found at http://www.spamstopping.com/filter-spam Sunny, those "bounced" messages email are the most frustrating to me too. Thankfully the ones I've received lately are single mailings to me only, not the ones where someone highjacked my email address to send out hundreds of messages. (Knock on wood!) Thanks for all your comments.

I didn't understand that for about 6 months. It turned out that 95% of my spam mail was coming from addresses I didn't even recognize. Another BIG one, for me at least, was the "return to sender" email bounce backs. The really frustrating thing is that I wasn't the sender on these. People just hyjack your address and make you the FROM... Something needs to be done to move email technology forward. I know in the corporate world, they are starting to get into TLS and certificates, but it's REALLY slow. I, for one, can't wait for this to be cleaned up. The CATCHALL email address tip is the best.

I have used every software I could get and every blocker possible and still get bombarded with 100's of spam emails every day. Spam has really got out of control.

One area that I know of is via spyware. Even if you can restly assure that your PC is safe but you can't control your friends PC right.. so when you send email to them your email address is easily taken if they do not protect their PC properly.. cheers, Well sometimes even if we do take precautions actions they seams know how to get it from other sources.
