This is all too true.
However, when spam starts to be a real nuisance, like when I am
getting 3 or 4 spams in each collection of incoming mail, I take the
trouble to report each and everyone to the SpamCop over several days.
Including, for instance, the time when I got 2 HYBRIS worms in the same
mail download.
Everybody remembers how to do that with Arachne ?
(It should be included in the Arachne documentation IMHO.)
That usually gives me a month or two before they become more than an
occasional nuisance again.
I am currently in such remission. :)

Ron
