Plus the #1 spammer in the world is based about 45 minutes from me and I know people who's worked on his network. He knows who I am and avoids me like I have aids and for good reason.

I also have lists of all the IP blocks they use for 90% of their spam and have them listed in my firewall so they can't even think of connecting to my smtp servers. It's rare that I even see what spam looks like anymore.
