I'm using Mailwasher Pro and find it to be a blessing. I easily get 
300+ spams a day, many claiming to come from myself. When that 
happens I check Whois and find a major foreign spammer with a range 
of addresses. I filter out the range and they're automatically marked 
for deletion. I can still scan the headers in the unlikely event 
there's legitimate mail there. One mouse click and they're deleted 
from the server before they get to my machine.

Nigeria is a serious offender, not only for the huge number of 
dispossessed royalty trying to smuggle huge fortunes into my bank 
account if I agree to pay the $250 FedEx charges but as a conduit for 
erectile disfunction remedies and replica Rolex watches. My guess is 
the ED medications are also replicas.

That's OK. I've passed my 40th birthday so I'm safe until Dick Cheney 
takes me hunting.

It appears the current administration was absent the day that was 
taught. A recent "60 Minutes" piece should make that clear with the 
increasing number of detention centers that make Guantanamo look like 
a ripoff of Disneyland.

I think that's how most of the Talk Show Host books have been 
written. Monkey ghost writers.
