Favorite anti-spam? Not letting the spammers get their grubby hands on my address in the first place ;)

Impossible. Brute force attacks on domain names will find anything. :sigh:

We use Cloudmark at CodeProject. We briefly used Barracuda but after a week of missing messages, then finding them, marking them as white, and again having them block I threw that out. Horrible, horrible system.

I doubt it. The task possible permutations are in the billions and you have to confirm each one.

GMail Not passing my email address around Thunderbird In that order. GMail has rather good filters, an uncommon name on an uncommon domain goes a long way, and Thunderbird takes care of the rest.

Well, I think they are only talking about the spammers targeting specific domains. In general it's not going to work. There's must be about a million domains in existance and then another million possible email addresses for each domain.

Sorry, i thought i had a genuine link to their site but you can also go to http://www.undercouch.de/[^] (German Website)were you find information on Spamihilator made by Michael Kramer, it's free and works real good

And spammers send out billions of emails. You're right in that an attack on specific domains is the most efficient, but I'm sure that aquiring a list of the top 10,000 domains wouldn't be hard.
