Now when everybody (mostly) have taken som actions to stop spamming on
the net someone finds realy nasty way to "contact" people. Mailing lists
are all closing and more difficult to force mail to few addresses to get
to the masses.
I received this today and I am not very happy, I have been getting
something like this last days directly to my primary mail address that
is only used for private mailing.

nite, a FUN day tomorrow, and the
most excellent TIMES forever more.

Is the only way to get rid of the "unwanted mail" to block all traffic

several well choosen addresses or what.
