Many people may not realize that the words “swine” and “flu” had really
not been seen in spam before this past weekend and almost certainly not
together in the same subject line, so we kinda started there. Using our
Trusted Source technology and intel I was able to pull the following
chart on the sheer growth in the words “swine” and “flu” when used just
as a subject for the last several days

I unsubscribed to every bad mailing I got from spammers, and I have not had one spammer send mail to me in over four months.

I'm in the processes of doing the same, instead of just deleting the spam I'm marking it at spam and that way it gets deleted automatically.

I'm also in the process of migrating 5 email address to just one, so when their received they get sorted into separate folders, then i can decided what i want to keep, e.g. HMOS emails, and then I'll change the contact email address for that site to my new one so I'll only get what i want and the rest can go to the old addresses which will be canceled.
