    Thats the same amount of messages bill gates receive every day, basically you can't do anything about it besides banning ips sending those spam messages or don't allow a single IP to send a message until a certain period of time after they've sent one.

    um i really doubt banning ip can solve anything :)
    Too many proxies around that spammers use and new ones appear and die every day
    but im sure there must be a way :)

    Shawn, don't you get that kind of spam on DP?
