Spam is a fact of life. Thankfully, now, so is ASSP. :)

Heh - some of my clients enable an auto-responder if they're out sick, 
or just gonna be out for a day. The word 'morons' comes to mind.

Again, spam is a fact of life. It's not like I'm going to die if I get 
some. And ASSP has been very effective at filtering out even these, so 
it is a non-issue for me, really.
