    I've got about 15 of those emails DAILY, ranging from cars, lottery, Microsoft, etc. strangely almost all came from UK or FR Yahoo domains. Oh yeah, along with Nigerian's Ministry of PhuckoPhuck, begging to share their loots with me.

    A better question is: How do I create an email black list to automatically reject/block these emails from even filling up my spam folder?
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.
