Penis enlargement, breast enlargement, new diets, university dimplomas, teen-sex, animal-sex, be a millionaire in a day, free pasta (!), Human Growth Hormone Therapy, Tremendous Savings (on everything), and a couple of week-ago I got a mail with "free incest" as subject. Made me sick. How the hell can I protect my mailbox from this shit? I have a spam-filter, but it doesn't seem to work any good.

Suddenly I came up with a really cruel thing to do. If you have the e-mail adress to someone you don't like, you can put up their adress and register on every damn website on the net. :)

you could refine your spam filter.. guess you use procmail if it's on stud.
try adding these regexp rules to your .procmailrc file:
.*([Ff]ree|FREE|[Aa]ffect|AFFECT|[Cc]ash|CASH|[Bb]usiness|[ Cc]asino|CASINO|[Mm]agnificent|[Ss]hip|[Tt]ired|[Hh]arness| [Ss]py|[Bb]oost|[Ss]uper|[Ss]aver|[Ii]mprove|VHS|DVD|[Aa]ff ord|[Mm]illion|[Ff]inance|[Rr]ates|[Ll]owest|[Ss]ecret|[Ee] xpand).*
.*([Pp]ayment|PAYMENT|[Ii]nstant|INSTANT|[Aa]ttention|[Ss]e nsation|SENSATION|[Ee]arn|EARN|[Aa]merican|AMERICAN|[Ll]oan |LOAN|[Ll]earn|LEARN|[Ee]xposure|EXPOSURE|[Ww]holesale|WHOL ESALE|[Mm]ultiply|MULTIPLY|[Aa]void|AVOID|[Bb]etter|[Nn]ews letter).*
.*([Mm]oney|MONEY|[Vv]iagra|VIAGRA|[Ss]tock|STOCK|[Pp]aid|P AID|[Ff]inanc|FINANC|[Gg]uarant|GUARANT|URGENT|[Uu]rgent|[S s]exy|SEXY|[Tt]eens|TEENS|[Nn]ational|NATIONAL|[Aa]SSET|ASS ET|[Bb]ackground|BACKGROUND|[Cc]ellular|CELLULAR).*
.*([Ww]eekend|[Pp]romot|[Hh]ottest|[Mm]ortgage|[Pp]ayment|[ Ll]ottery|[Ff]inance|[Aa]merican|[Ee]asily|[Ee]nergy|[Pp]ro sper|[Mm]arket|[Ee]mploy|[Pp]aralys|[Ff]eel|[Pp]rescript|[E e]xecutive|[Rr]efin|[Oo]peration|FUTURE|[Cc]ustom|playboy|c hannel|girl[z]).*
.*(postcard|invite|watching|surprise|needs|meeting|catalog| intellectual|oil|price|adult|youth|fountain|voucher|guarant eed|cartridge|naked|celebrit|financial|institution|affiliat e|market|trading|investment|money|investment|income).*
this should catch most spam (might be a little strict, but if you don't receive many english mails normally it's good to be this strict) works like a charm for me.

one of the first rules of receiving spam: don't reply, ever
you only generate more traffic and you will never be removed from any lists. you just assure the spammer that somebody at that adress actually exists.

nexus; if you have one of those "free" accounts, hotmail, yahoo, etc, I think you will have spam even if you don't sign up.

i only started receiving junk a week ago after signing up to some community -- i just block them, and the domain they came from -- thankfully, their numbers have dimished a lot

I've learned that it's easier and less time consuming to just delete the spam. After years of looking at it i've developed the eye for it and know right away what's legit and what's not.
Or you can continue the futile effort of trying to eliminate spam permanently from your mailbox, whatever works for you.

I use Outlook 2002's rules wizard to deal with any unwanted or crappy messages that keep cropping up.

Best way I've found to deal with spam is to have two email accounts - one you give to family and trusted friends, and one you give to websites and untrusted friends. :)

I agree Inverted Whale. I have three email addresses, one for work (which even friends and family don't have - because I just know the crap I'd get), my main home email address, and my hotmail account which is listed here in my profile. I also have the hotmail account for the use of MS Messenger.
