It's just that i'm getting spam on such an obscure addresses, I deleted this one so I can tell you, it was bryanandprima@bryanandprima.com. I just wonder how anyone can happen to find that?

My origanal domain/email was bryan@bryang.com, hosted at wmis.net. About my 3rd year using it, I was getting over 80 emails a day, all spam. They ended up joining a service that would filter the mail, postini.com. I was down to 3 or 4 a day, but every once in a while mail I wanted would get caught in it. in 2000 I was loging into postini.com and saw I was getting over 600 emails a day, 600 ! ! !
I had to shut that acount down when I joined suffixhost because without postini filtering, well, think about sifting through over 600 mails a day to find 1 or 2 real ones, just think about what is was like if i went on vacation for a week, i'd just be screwed.
i know you have spam assasin, but I haven't figured it out (call me stupid) so I just shut down bryan@bryang.com, I'll start it later, after many bounce backs I'm sure it'll clear up. Now I never give my real addresses out anywhere, I have yahoo addresses for that.

OK, let me know if you have any more problems. If you use Outlook Express you can use Norton Spam program, if you use webmail. Then Spam Assasin would be the best choice.

If you would like some documentation about it, please reffer to: http://www.cpanel.net/docs/cp/spamAssassin.htm

Also, if you would like to change your email on the billing system e-mail me personally.
