My Email Is Teh Sucks

I have several email accounts, hotmail, yahoo, the usual deal, I get spam mail every now and then, however, with my internet provider email I made the mistake of choosing a highly common and easily spamable address. So I log in today to clear it out as I do every now and then and I have 700+ emails...

700+!!! SEVEN HUNDERED PLUS!!

My ISP is complete morons for several reasons...

1) They obviously have 0 spam filtering software installed

2) They're letting these 700+ spam emails sit in my inbox eating up who knows how much space on their servers

3) The bandwidth for these incoming emails has to account for something, I check this email about once every 3-4 weeks, I must be getting several spam mails a day.

Now you may be thinking "wow thats great, thats no surprise you dork everyone gets spam" but ah HA! Not TRUE! Well it is true, but Ah HA! All the smart companies such as Hotmail and Yahoo etc. Have put in spam filters that take care of this problem, as alot of other ISPs do also, because it is something they *need* to take care of. So does MY ISP do this? No. Why? Cuse They're morons.

And I guess I'm no better for complaining here rather than sending them an email about it. But sending them an email would most likely result in them doing something stupider than they are now rather than fixing the problem. Why do I say that? Because its been my experience thats what happens.

*sigh* Why couldn't we have gotten that law that allowed us to bounty hunt Spamers

Oh and to make it even funnier, I use the web interface they provide since I don't like to use email clients for some reason, and the page listings for the pages to jump to for the different emails is so high that it goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, NULL, NULL, NULL

Hah!

Also spam mails are currently unusually high due to the current world-wide Virus attack.

I got down to 300 something... I'm giving up for now since I keep getting time out messages from the webmail thingy.

Sad thing is only 1 out of every 100 of those is one I actualy care about.

My parents ISP, which is through a local phone company . They sometimes get E-mail from several years ago. Even though the compay says they don't keep any E-mail on their servers after a few months.

I can recommend the accounts at http://www.spamcop.net

That's what I use, and although maybe 2-3 spams per day get through still a heck of a lot compared to before (hundreds/day) are blocked

If you don't mind actually downloading the spams (but not seeing them) then popfile is a good free solution. That's at:
http://popfile.sourceforge.net/

I dont get any spam. My email is kept private. I do have a spamtrap account that I use on every site that requires a one-time signup process...
