Re: 419 spammer harvested address

but today I've had to disable the address, because after nearly
three months some spammer finally harvested that address and sent
me a spam to that address, reported here:

What's the problem? Turn on greylisting and use SpamAssassin with SARE
rulesets. It's not a big deal. Got a couple hundred attempts to spam my
address daily, the very few that get through greylisting get flagged by
SA. There's not a global problem with spam, but dimwitted postmasters.
