      I'm getting so many stock tip emails with nightly news subject lines that it makes me fond of the days when all I got were penis launcher and viagra emails

        yup, and they're all using the captcha image scripts to beat filters.

          yes, I have been getting about 20+ a day for the last 6 months. It's very annoying.

            i was getting a few hundred a day, but i have a shitload of email addies..

            about a month or two ago i set my filter to bounce anything with a .gif file (getting hundreds of those) and as far as the stock tip spam i filter/bounce all of the usual terms this spammer uses.. i.e.:
            "Symbol:"
            "3 Day Target"
            "Status: Strong Investment"
            "3 Day Estimate"

            and about a dozen others...
