(United States)

it seems that the biggest spammer in the world, creating 2/3 to 3/4 of all spam, has been shutdown.

Interesting. I was reading an article the other day that said spammers only get 1 reply for every 12.5 million emails they send.

and yet they keep on sending it. My reply is usually block and delete. If they are sending a virus then its find the IP then get ahold of their ISP abuse dept then block and delete

I've been using MailWasher for years. I see everything on the servers before downloading. I get to delete, blacklist and bounce anything that I don't want. No sense in cluttering up my inbox with a lot of junk mail....
