One of them is that spammers forge your address so much you get your
account blacklisted and end up having to have it shut down. That happened
to me and the jdash...@shellworld.net account. Anyone doing a google
search on shellworld.net blacklisted will find my former shellworld.net
address in the first document google returns. As a result of spammers and
blacklisting it's probably a good idea to minimize use of space on
internet providers machines since sooner rather than later your account is
going to get blown away.
What would really be useful for any spam fighting package to acquire is
the ability to automatically check headers on messages and forward servers
found to be forging to a kill list so those servers could be blacklisted
in turn. So far I know of no such software that will do this service.
