ARRRGGG!!! Spam/Virus email is slowly killing me...
I'm so sick of the amount of SPAM and VIRUS email I get. Now, with a fresh domain and new email box, I thought I would be safe, but it appears there are web bots out there combing the HTML pages for email addresses, because I no sooner got my new domain name and got my email address all updated on the contact pages and ported over, and I'm getting a SLEW of new virus and spam mailings. I haven't even registered with this email address anywhere yet, so I KNOW it has to be coming from web bots. Less than 10% of my email is personal anymore. In just under 2 weeks, I've received over 550 emails and 72% is SPAM, 18% is VIRUS, and 10% is personal. I'm so sick of it. I wish I had just 1 hour in a dark room with the F!$#KS that send this crap out.
Here is a log from my POPFile email filter software (at least it is 99.01% accurate on dispositioning my email):
