Spam catchers do not work. To quote http://tmda.sf.net/ :

"The problem with this approach is that spammer's intrusion techniques are
evolving as fast as your prevention techniques are, so the battle is never
ending. Maintaining the blacklist is often just as time-consuming as
pressing the "Delete" key on the easily recognized junk messages. If wasted
time is your biggest complaint with junk e-mail, you can see why this
traditional methodology is flawed." 

Concerning "The spam is bothering *me* and no one else": Please stop being
presumptuous to speak for everyone else on this list implicitly.

It soon will be.
In the meanwhile I'll stop providing my knowledge to this list, thus
unsubscribe.

Have a nice day,
