I advise you do this and gradually let old email addresses become legacy [email protected] is used by me for over a decade and is my only contact email address. Extremely bullet proof All spam caught is (VER) reported at a click of your mouse from your Web Browser. I do not have the time to report spam manually SpamCop email is set-up to easily function with SpamCop reporting, All spam that has been and is sent to me is effortlessly reported (non time consuming) The best defence against spammers is to attack back. While the advent of Trojans does allow hackers & spammers complete control and access to many computers defence is simple and for windows users free. Check out my signature on how http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=6089&hl= If you have the time to do set-up spam control yourself then SpamPal is maybe a way to consider also. You seem happy with it, Just as I am with the easy effective SpamCop way I have tested MailWasher the version I used handled spam from the server and never required downloading to inbox (all header info to SpamCop was sent from server) My 30 days free trail or pay $US37 has for some time now expired (The SpamCop Email US$30 is IMO a much better more effective deal) Petzl -- Check your computers security (free) <http://security.symantec.com>
