Yeah, it's a pain to stop spam from countries like China....

If someone sends you spam, here's what I do: click on the link that goes to their page and look for an email address there, like their sales@ address or support@ address, whatever. Copy it to your clipboard... then do a Google search for +"mailing list" and +"click to join" ... enter their email address on as many mailing lists as you can. It will effectively kill their email address, as well as their ability to do customer support or accept new sales.

That's a great idea, I'll try that.

that just promotes spam....it doesn't help cut down on the amount of spam that flows through our pipes.

Ya. I got this spam... about 4-5 times over as many days. Nowadays, I just delete them .
