KC, I use a spam filter, quite a good one. today it was sent 550 messages which I had to pay to filter before I could read my important mail. I spend a few hours every few weeks updating my filters and an hour every day sorting through stuff that has gotten past 1000's of filters.

We are about to launch on a new series of jobs, that we really don't have the time for, to set up a new spam filtering system which will bounce back emails and send complaints in 1 movement.

You are comparing this to leaving doors unlocked in your home!?!?!? wtf does that have to do with anything?

If I left my door unlocked and someone let themselves into my home THEY are in the wrong. Its my home, i pay for it, i own the things inside it and i choose who I invite into it - if anyone enters uninvited, they are not welcome and will be asked to leave.

Using your bizaare comparison, those who send emails deliberately to escape my filters (example v.I-A.G.r-a) are the equivalent to a criminal who breaks the locks on my home to get inside.

If my house gets broken into, should i just say 'oh well i should have had more locks?'

Let me know if you'd like to discuss spam, home invasion is not really that interesting to me.
