I had so many bounce backs that I simply decided to start blocking those email addresses to which they were sent, and then ended up destroying the whole catch-all email address. It is VERY annoying. At one point I had over 4000 emails per hour coming through, thankfully, Gmail filters spammed them all.   I so understand what you are going through.

Did you see this ? http://www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/music-industry-proposes-isp-tax/ ie they want to tax me indirectly through my ISP for music I don't listen to  - get stuffed more like. The dropping revenue's might have something do with the boring non-descript covers of old songs, 'X' factor like garbage they insist on releasing. According to this http://www.spamfo.co.uk/component/option,com_content/task,view/id,158/Itemid,2/ Spam made up between 75% and 94% of all email traffic, they even know which countries it comes from ! A few years ago a I ran a small Freelancer game server, it was clear that at certain times of the year the 'idiots' would appear, people modding, cheating, swearing etc - this tended to coincide with the first evening of the school holidays, so I would stop the server, disable new character creation for a day or so, then after the children were safely playing on somebody else's server,or had given up, restart new character creation, I also had a IP block, which eventually contained, the first 2 digits of the largest isp's in eight countries, although draconian, it stopped all but a few idiots - so if I can do, it is really easy.
