It seems that some lamer has been harvesting the list for mail addresses to spam.
Just a heads up, not much you can do about it - unless you run an archive, in which case munging e-mail addresses is a great idea chaps. (Or in case you can work out his address, suitable for arranging the delivery of many mail order catalogs.)
I'm using spamassassin, and rarely have spam get past it, but nevertheless, this is annoying.
I just came back from three weeks vacation to approximately 1500 gentoo-user emails. That is okay, I expect large volume, and I didnt want to cancel my subscription, as I often find reading them helpful (or at least make me aware of problems I may encounter in the future).
I also had 65 vanilla inbox messages, and 833 mails filtered out as spam. Granted, I do not have to read them, but I still have to recieve them:
[ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] ~/.maildir/.Spam $ du -h 4.0K ./tmp 32K ./new 9.5M ./cur 9.6M .
Who do I charge my extra 10 Megs of traffic to? Not that ten megs is a huge deal (unless you consider the fact that this was in just three weeks).
Does anybody know if having mail bounce effectively removes you from spamlists? I suppose it doesnt matter as there likely isnt a hot-naked-
[EMAIL PROTECTED] in the first place, and it would probably just end up making me use up more traffic for no benifit.
