Well that was short lived. I've received about 150 spams in the last 12 hours. My Hotmail account had only received 2 spams in several days. In the last 12 hours, 69 spam came in.
I don't understand why only a few of us are experiencing this.

I received 123 to my IP since last posting. Most of it is being forwarded from dallas-music.com. I guess I need to reconfigure it.
Oops! I got 31 more while typing this.

Maybe there was a holiday in Nigeria over the past week?

LOL! I do think some spammer was shut down for while, but now is back up and running.
Well I'm a little embarrassed. 99% of the spam was being forwarded from dallas-music.com. I never bothered to look who it was addressed to.  I found a setting on dallas-music.com that was forwarding all received e-mail to my IP, as well as Hotmail and Yahoo. I must have done this when I was having trouble receiving ebay and paypal e-mail.
I turned the forwarder off and now spam is almost nonexistent.
So...never mind!
