I have AT&T at home and have not noticed an increase in spam at all.

Just wondering how many on the list may have AT&T DSL at home? And,
if so, have started receiving lots of e-mail over the last month or
so in regard to winning the lottery, inheriting millions, etc., that
you hadn't been receiving in the past? Probably get five to ten
minimum per day now and, when contacting AT&T they indicated it was my
job to contact the offending domain/mail server and also offered
instructions on how to check the mail headers, etc., to see where they
came from although I've done that for years for our own people and
attempted to block what I can through our own AV/Anti-Spam software.
Probably was started by inappropriately clicking something that
triggered it (not me), but wanted to check before I changed e-mail
addresses. Or is there some software, preferably free or cheaper,
that can be used at home for mail "filtering"?
Thanks for any ideas or suggestions!
