Well, Alan, I have no idea what you did to attract that much spam, but

That's why I joined this list, and why I'm making such noise about
the issue. Everyone I talk to complains about the spam "problem", and
they get 3 orders of magnitude less spam than I do.
I have to say that your stats certainly are up there. Have you
looked at the incoming email at all? For instance when I was getting
tens of thousands of messages to olga(_at_)somewhere(_dot_)com some
investigation showed that it was due to one company shipping their
internet-enabled video camera configured to send email to that
address. And half a million of my bounces (just over the past year)
are due to skynetworks.fi, which has a misconfigured program and
refuses to reply to my messages. (Summary of somewhere.com's traffic
at http://www.spamwatcher.com/tools/logs/cgp/, it's done as though
bounces were web hits, but it works).

I'm not sure which upsets me more: that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
