Most everyone out there has gotten their share of spam e-mails and phishing scams. The problem is getting worse. Most of these messages are just annoyances, we get them, we delete them, we move on until the next time. But some of them, are potentially dangerous. Up until last week one of my clients was getting upwards of 3000 spam messages per day. PER DAY! Why? Because Ya**o created something called a catch-all mailbox. In the beginning it sounded to them like a great idea, if someone mis-spells their business e-mail address, they will still get the messages, but, as soon as the domain is listed in the e-mail lists for spammers they started getting thousands of e-mails sent to whoever@thierdomain.com.

More later on how to address this problem, and what you can do to get yourself off these lists….for good.
