Question about blocking spam.

I had been doing well on the spam front. I blocked a whole bunch of senders and rarely received spam. I had typically been careful about who I gave my email too but must have slipped. Now I get 15 spams a day and blocking doesnt even stop it. I know it must be one source that got my name cuz it started in a blitz. Is there anyway to find out the source? Do I have any other options to deal with this besides blocking every spammer that gets through? Thanks

Without more info, it’s tough to say. Is your email addy posted ANYWHERE online (web pages, usenet groups etc)? If so, then web spiders could have picked it up.

Or, the spammer may be doing an “alphabet run” on your ISP…just trying random letter combinations.
