Anyone else getting hit with spammers today?
Been getting hit by spammers hard from last night to right now.
Over 1000 spam emails, most all from drug crap people. Anyone else getting this?

Well a big part of my problem is that when working (flying) in Russia and China the people I fly or work with ask for a business card. Am guessing that a lot of its coming from this neck of the woods...
Guess its time to start blocking IP addresses. Am at over 1500 spam emails today alone and its usually more like 200 a day.

In situations like this (and situations not like this!!!) I set up an alias in my email. Your email/ISP provider can do this for you. Then when the particular business is over I delete the alias and only hand my my real email out to people I want to hear from again.

Hey, that's weird. I've been getting 4 or 5 of the drug spam in the last couple days too. Before that, pretty much nothing.

If you were a girl, would be glad to show you! Getting back to the thread, finally knocked it down. Added a new filter to my email server. It was "only" 450 emails overnight, 99% of them spam. Now this morning its been under 25 so its slowly getting back to normal. Hate spammers...
