| POPFile is doing a gallant job! :) All my wanted, 'not-spam' mails are
| correctly put aside, ready to be read at my leisure. But it is utterly
| astonishing that there is not even one spam received today. Microsoft
| 'bought' out the Spam King's organization some months ago. I am just
| wondering if this has anything to do with it, that is, if it is true that
| everybody, not just me, has more or less stopped receiving junk mails.
|
| Or, maybe I am just the luckiest guy on the net!

I too have noticed that I am getting almost zero spam of late - I put it
down to changing from Norton to McAfee Internet Security with its Spam
Killer which updates almost every time that I go on the net.

Your Internet Service Provider is best able to answer your question.
Especially if you are concered that their spam blocking may be too strict.

Lin, I'm sorry to say that word has gotten around the internet that
you're too honest to help Nigerian money launderers, too healthy to buy
drugs, too rich to need a new mortgage, too smart to need a diploma and
don't need any help in the male organ area.

Face it Lin, you don't excite spammers anymore.

:) :)
