Spammers never seem to give up even if the address is undeliverable
for two years.

Spammers don't see the bounce notices because everything in the spam
is falsified except for the URL they want you to go to.

That, and many of them are using ancient email-address
CDs they bought off the shelf at their local hacker-mart.

The other day I had some to destroy, so I tossed them in
the microwave (in a stack in a zip-lock bag; otherwise
the stink of smoking Lexan stays in the nuker for days).

The recordable ones take a moment longer to heat and end up
with bigger cracks.

I just cut them in two with tin snips.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I put them in a plastic bag (to contain the shards) and snap them.

Yes you can't have too many backups. I do at least two
and three or more for the important stuff.

The voice of "Jim Thompson" drifted in on the cyber-winds,
from the sea of virtual chaos...

I'm gradually changing over so that all my accounts, vendors,
credit cards, banks, MIT committees, mailing lists, family,
friends, etc., all have a specific address to send E-mail to me.

That way I can track and cut-off spam at my E-mail forwarding
site, and never see or have to process it.

I currently have 12 allowed addresses and 30 instant-to-trash.

I went the same route over 2 years ago. One of the things I like about
my domain host is the ability to set several email aliases per account
and still having a proper "name not found" sent to any aliases I've
"decommissioned" or haven't created yet. In total I only have three
accounts, but few dozen aliases spread across them.

As for a DLA account, there's no real reason to bother with one.
The only thing mine collected was an ever-increasing amount of spam,
so after the fall out of Swen I ditched it in favor of a monthly
"viral-ignored" address for my Usenet posts.
