Hey, time to mutter about spam again ...

I don't believe that helps much: I only get at least two
spam mails from the same address. And recently most spams
came from ...@zipmail.co.br for some reason. And for some
other reason, my mail host's spam filter does not filter
out spam anymore, although the filter is switched on. The
suspicion that spammers must use anonymous or pretend-to-be
email sending software I have from getting spam from
addresses like 34kh.fj.39375@uni-goettingen.de or something
like that. The most funny thing is when I get spam from
@beckerscarsten.de or @server32.greatnet.de (the server my
page is on) with an address before that @ that does not
exist at all! What really annoyed me today was a faked
"Mail Delivery Error" spam, titled _Mail Delivery (error:
naranoieati@beckerscarsten.de)_, coming from an address I
have never sent an email to. And also, in Germany, if not
even in the entire EU, spam is forbidden IIRC, so most spam
I get actually comes from ex-Soviet countries or the
Americas.
