[modeleng] Re: [Fwd: PDF spam on the rise]

Alan,

So far my Earthlink spam stopper has let nothing in the way of spam through, 
but of course that may change as the spammers get smarter.

I had ignored the messages about spam. Although technically it is off topic, 
it does, unfortunately, affect everyone who uses the internet, so is of 
general interest.

However, for me, it has just becoe much more personal. At 6pm yesterday all 
was fine. When I logged back on at around 9pm, I had over 300 emails, all 
but 3 of which were spam. That has since increased and since noon today I 
have got 585 of them!

Although I have good filtering for spam, plus all the usual precautions 
against "nasties", that level of unwanted emails is way above anything I 
have expereinced before and is a real pain.
