My method of fighting SPAM is simply to be predatorial. When I get
SPAM I report it to the source (ISP usually), or moron whose got
sendmail configured wrong to relay all messages. They usually cancel
the account or fix their mail server. I also get less and less SPAM,
almost like the SPAMers somehow know who it is that reports them.
Anti-SPAM tools are like Anti-Virus tools, a gimmick, the solution is
to go after the problem at it's source.
