This morning, I had 300 mails sitting in my spam folder, courtesy of Spam Assassin, which turned up overnight. I also had a few dozen in my inbox, and a hundred or so messages telling me about the more obvious spam that had been auto-deleted.
Every time I've logged in since, I've had a screenful of spam each time. All of it either addressed to a random address at my domain, or a "failed delivery" message for a spam that had pretended to be coming from a random address at my domain.
Although it may mean missing out on a few genuine mails, I've changed my email settings: Nothing that doesn't come to (or from) a valid, existing account gets through. No more "wstfgl@oneandoneis2.com" mails allowed. I don't have a big enough screen to deal with over 500 spam messages a day.
And if this doesn't work, I'm going to start making people use passwords if they want to email me, because I'm just sick of all this bloody junk mail.

Hmm.. new look for twitter? I hope it gets less "Ick! Change! Put it back!" nonsense than Facebook..
