Hi Dave! As usual, we're working along the same lines <chuckle>
I decided to stop using Mailwasher as I was spending too much time
chasing SPAM. Due to several issues, I finally gave up the whole mess
and got new E-Mail addresses. This cut my SPAM from 30-50 per day to
1-2 per month. I also removed my website (with E-Mail addy on it).
Lastly, at the recommendation of someone on this list, I started using
a temporary e-mail address for most purchases, information sites, etc.
The temporary address can be found at:
http://jetable.org/
It works wonderfully. I set it for the maximum time (eight days if
memory serves me right) and and it works seamlessly. Doing this keeps
my e-mail addy from being spread around.
If I do see the need for a SPAM program, my first decision will be
whether to get a new address..........which isn't all that hard to
handle once a year or two, or use a SPAM program. From what I've
read, though, should I choose to use a SPAM program, I'd use the
SpamBayes program as well.

| What makes it really interesting is that James could just as
| easily preauthorize the people on this list, rather than ask us
| to do it.
|
| The problem that I have with these types of systems is that they
| can potentially be abused. I mean using SpamArrest verifies an
| active email address. What better way to gather emails.
|
| James you can do the same thing in your email client by using
| rules, or you can filter your mail using Bayesian filtering
| which is about 98% (this is my effectiveness rate) effective.
