I have it routeto a folder in my account like [EMAIL PROTECTED] and if you do that, and sort the mailbox by subject you'll see many spam have the same subject. Submit 100 of those a week to spamcop.net and we'll start doing some good damage to the spammers. Even if you don't filter using spamcop.net, they have such an excellent reporting mechanism that forces ISPs to react that it's worth submitting the spam. You can just select big bunches of emails and pick to Forward as Attachments so you could submit 100 all at once. The only anoying part is then going to Spamcop's site and clicking to do the final submission. It's sooo worth it I think.Simply deleting emails the spammers will not know you blocked the mail and more and more spammers will come at you. Using reporting maybe you can stop some. Since I started this practice my spam has really gone down. I also tell my users to either forward to spamcop or just to forward as attachments to me and I'll forward for them and report it.
