I actually started switching email addresses, but that quickly becomes
ineffective.
Always use mailinator.com or other similar services, I no longer trust
*any* privacy policy as those seem to be highly open to interpetation
depending on mood.
I finally set up a whitelist (source code listed on my site) that I
wrote in PHP and set up on my server with qmail. dotforward files. That
limits my email to a trickle and basically allows my work address to
only be mailed from work machines..
I have actually had multiple spammers go in and complete the captcha I
wrote! Then resend the damn mail. I quickly remove them.
I had excellent luck with popfile (popfile on sourceforge) but lost my
database and wanted to write my own thing.
Hope that helps a bit.
Cheers
