As the Tresurer of Greyhound Gap, my "official" e-mail address for that role is necessarily plastered across the internet, which results in me getting a heck of a lot of spam e-mail.
The regular stuff I've managed to filter out; the viagra, pills, erections....etc etc. But the spammers are getting cleverer. They now choose subject lines which, whilst easy to filter out, could actually be legitimate e-mails. The two current favourites seem to be "delivery failure", which does need to be checked...just in case. And the other is "Your order". When you buy a lot of stuff over the internet you do get a lot of legitimate e-mails with the subject "Your order" so they all have to be checked.
It's damned annoying and spammers should, IMHO, be put against the wall and shot.

I totally agree with you- I have suddenly started getting masses of spam emails, mostly filtered by my google account. Some are really funny because they assume I'm a bloke (Chris)and females are trying to make contact!
