Can we just have an agreement to stop wasting bandwidth that people will email you offering you millions or they will ask you to log on to internet banking/ebay/paypal etc They are all scams, lets stop posting everytime we get one of these. I get probably 20-30 a week from one source or another, I'd be never off Accyweb if I was to post up every one[1].
[1] Yes, I know I'm never off Accyweb anyway but you get my point.

Anyone who has the first idea about spam/scam email knows thats impossible. If the mighty US of A White house can't stop it with all their resources then what chance does any individual. You can set up and run a mail server anywhere in the world in seconds. Likewise it can 'disappear' just as quickly and be as untraceable as a PAYG phone.
I have heuristic email filters that hide it from me(learning as it goes what is spam and what isn't from the odd false positive or one that slips through that I mark correctly)
Spam, Scams etc have always and will always be there, its a profession thats almost as old as the ladies of the night.
