Same here. Message filter are extremely useful.

I counted at least 200 before I filtered them out.

A.Melon is an anonymous remailer service. Many details about the
messages' origin are masked, however, I do know this spam attack was
done by feeding that crap into a script that submitted it to the
remailer service over and over again.

Anyway, blocking that sender blocks *everyone* who uses that service.
Not a bad idea.
