Default How to stop the DRUG spam?

Lately I have been getting so many drug spam emails.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to stop them? The subject line typically looks something like this:

Fwd: v1aGR@ . Val+i+um ) Xan|a|x ~ V:|cod|n So.m.a ; Pn:t:ermin dgyvhdmgcvcd

You can filter them but it's hard on a user level because of how they trick up the subject lines, after a while it will sure wear out an inbox.. A new email account sure helps! ;-)

Ya, make anti-spam laws that go against SPAM, not adult material.

Are you getting this from your server's
or are you getting this from your isp email?

On your server if your running cpanel I know that you can setup spam filters.

On your isp, you can do a number of things. ie; spamassassin . org/index.html

Setup rules with your mail software.

Foward one of them to your the postmaster @ ISP and let them ban the ip address before it gets to your mailbox

my 2 cents..
