Thanks for trying to explain it to me Peter… I’m no different than you as far as my aversion to spam. I really was just curious why one forum member would be a target over another.
I usually get several hundred spam mails a day… via the several accounts I use. Many are stopped at my server which uses sender verification and of course blacklisting to stop common spam. Most mail is forwarded to my gmail account which adds another layer of fairly sophisticated filtering. This method means that I almost never see a spam mail in my Inbox or a legitimate email in my spam folder.
I usually have seen upticks in the amount of spam I get after attacks on my blog… which I monitor and defend very aggressively. I think the hackers get mad when they fail to break into my server. Of course, that’s simply anecdotal-- but it makes me feel better to imagine them licking their wounds.
Again, best of luck to you.
