When mutt had finally managed to delete 5000 mails, during that time at least the same amount of new mails had arrived already. Stuffed my line quite a bit... Same here. I had collected about 4500 when I started using procmail filters. I had to add more subject lines almost every day because I wanted to see legitimate bounces and filter only those the Spammer caused. The filter collected 17000 more bounces before the Spammer ceased using my name. So I was more fortunate than you: 1) This ran over weeks, not in a few days. 2) There where only a quarter of your bounces. I educated quite a few people who sent remove requests about the dangers of doing that. The best one was this: REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING LIST NOW OR ELSE I WILL HAVE TO REPORT YOU THE WEB ADMINISTRATOR Oooohhh, I'm scared...
