Like me. I was *born* on Mother's Day. You should see the cards I get.
And how people pronounce "mother" when wishing me well...

ROFLMAO! Happy birthday!

Thanks.

SPAM. It was getting very bad. For a time, it helped. But it's back up
again. I suspect before long, I'll be using a brand new address munged
on the "From" line with correct instructions in a sig as others do.

Ordinarily, I would recommend mailblocks.com as a spam trap that legitimate
people can get through. But a day after I noticed that they'd been bought
out by AOL, the site went down. It's been down all weekend.

Have you tried Mailwasher? http://www.mailwasher.net/

I have mailwasher Pro and it lets me look at what's coming in, but I'm
reluctant to set it to auto-delete. I've caught too many welcome emails
in the blacklist and delete categories and I don't know how they got
there. In theory, they can only be there if I put them there. Not sure...

The guy who developed Mailwasher sold it to a larger company (I got an
email from them today about the new, improved, free update). When I
clicked on the link above, it didn't connect. I'm using Thunderbird.

I tried Mailwasher and didn't like it. Instead, I found Popfile and have
been happy as a clam ever since.

Popfile will run on ANY platform btw, be it Windows, Unix/Linux and the
Mac OS-X BSD variants.
