I've been using the same address since 1994, and every time I get spam I complain to the appropriate abuse@ and postmaster@ addresses. I'm not as fortunate as you, today for example I have about 12 spam messages amongst a veritable ocean of articles from mailing lists - the signal to noise ratio is about 20:1 If people are setting up accounts specifically for mailing lists, it might be worth adding a filter to immediately trash messages that don't look like they came from the list. For example, if you have a specific "rspec-users" mail account, filter all messages to the trash if they don't contain "[rspec-users]" in the subject, or "rspec- [EMAIL PROTECTED]" in "TO:". In an ideal world there would be no spam, but that's not going to happen until we rid the world of greedy or impure people. I expect that to be at about the same time that Skynet takes over and flying pigs start snowball fights with the legions of hell.
