A Tide of Spam: Shutdown Time

While I was away for the holiday I received a tide of spam from various sources. First there's Ashok "Oblivious" Dande, who is determined to send me several pieces of spam day in and day out. Next comes Andre Mark of "Baytalkitec" who says in a letter apparently written by someone who didn't pay attention during in high school English classes that "I have done a study about your company and feel that you will need IVVR in near future."

As some of you know, I use hundreds of email addresses, and I shut them off when they've become infected. Ordinarily I would just turn off this particular address and be done with it, but I have a horrid fascination about this particular infection and I wonder just how far it will spread.
