That's a splendid post for guidance on tracking down and reporting the originators of heavily disguised spams. But it's just not practicable if you're getting hundreds of the damn' things every day!
Incidentally I manage to divert about one-third of the spams I receive into a separate folder in Outlook Express by writing lots of Message Rules based on phrases and names that keep on cropping up in spam. But the spammers mostly work round that sort of filter by changing the tell-tale words slightly: V1agra instead of Viagra, or V*i*a*g*r*a, or whatever. It's a losing battle to keep up with the wretched nasties.
