My address has been out there since 1993. I reckon I get little enough spam
so that, although I was making the point about being able to reject mail
using Addmail, it's actually less trouble to download it and delete it
here. The time taken with a V90 modem connection is trivial. By the time
spammers catch on to sending QuickTime movies, I guess we'll all have
broadband connections and that will be no problem either.

But I can see that if you have been harvested by people who are sending you
upwards of 50 spam emails a day, you would want protection.
