They did have that problem over Xmas as well where they went down for several days due to the huge amounts going through. It is a World wide problem and will probably only get worse before maybe getting better. I use Mailwasher as well which helps and you can blacklist and bounce mail from spammers. |

| 428640 | 2006-02-10 00:57:00 | As several posters have mentioned Mailwasher by now, would a kind one please explain simply for the slightly technically-challenged like me what it can add to our anti-spam armour without needing loads of configuring. | Laura (43) | ||
| 428641 | 2006-02-10 01:09:00 | I see no point in bouncing emails, if the program blacklists. Just blacklist it once and for all (the isp), if whatever program can blacklist a whole domain/isp. End of story. You wont get emails from that domain again. |

| 428642 | 2006-02-10 02:05:00 | Sounds about right for Xtra. I haven't had a single piece of Spam from IHUG in past fifteen months. Had a few from Gmail though. |
