Spamgourmet stats

Here are the spamgourmet addresses that have received (and deleted) the most spam:

contest (at my address): 13,565. I use this address when entering any kind of contest, drawing, etc.

nntp (at my address): 7,977. I use this address on newsgroups

ireadsource (at my address): 1,277. This address is in a comment in the source of my webpage.

Nowadays I also use username+somestring@gmail.com addresses. It doesn't provide as much protection but it has 100% uptime and timely delivery. Sometimes SG gets overloaded and mail can get delayed.

I'm feeling much better now.

Thought I'd give an update after two negative posts.

Spamgourmet is back up and running like a champ; they tend to get DOS'ed by spammers regularly so I was a bit worried.

Also, I joined another regional freecycle group (north texas freecycle) and was admitted with no drama. Successfully gave away some gear I didn't want to throw away.
