        I get more sponsor e-mails than spam nowadays. It only took 10 years but spam seems to be on the way out.

          Isn't that rediculous? Out of a full box of spam I can usually figure out that a majority of them are sent by 2 or 3 people. Do they really think I'm stupid enough to believe that 4 different people just happened to send me messages with the same subject line within a few minutes of each other? Or how about the ones that send several copies of the same message every day, day in and day out, each altered just enough to get past any filters you may be trying to set. If I wasn't interested in "gushing hahahahas" the first 50 times I'm not going to excitedly sign up through the 51st one.

                  most spammers are out of proxies now, they are really having a hard time finding them, so they can't send mail and the ones that go can spam are blocked by every rbl list out there.

                    Good thread. I have an old email account from 1991 and my domain is still going to this day. And I get all kinds of crap. About 300 emails a day. I hate it. Ill have to check out that Thunderbird Deal. Thanks for the thread and the information.
                    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.
