Boy these guys are really starting to tic me off. Lately over 90 percent of my emails are spam. I continue to block the different senders & bounce their emails. I recently thought how nice it would be to be able to take all my quarantined files that are virus infected & attach them to the bounced emails. I have been hit with some really nasty ones over the years. It only seems right that spammers should be able to enjoy tearing down their systems while I have to read their stupid Nigerian get rich quick proposals. Any ideas?

i have no idea how to implement this but , for every email you send you would be charged 1 cents against your isp account and when anyone you email hits the reply button this would cancel the charge. now 1 cents isn't much but if the jerks that send millions of spam emails got charged 10,000 dollars for their million spam slices it might cut down a bit and if you charged 10 cents. and the very few times i had to pay a few cents because someone forgot to reply well which would annoy you more?

If you are getting spam, then you most likely have your e-mail out in the open somewhere.Get a new e-mail(such as gmail or hotmail) and give that one out for personal use or with online purchaces(except porn) only. Also, maybe find out where they are all getting your e-mail addy.

I have a number of email accounts. my private one for only people I know (i.e. i wouldn't be posting it on any site) a general internet one which unfortunately does get some spam and spam address for places i sign up for but wont nesiseraly visit often (that one get some hefty spam).

I will when I get some time though change my email to my own server, it gives you so much more control and you can literally eliminate all spam from your incoming mail with the right configuration. Thats the problem with free emails they have fairly limited configuration options.
