For those of you with Earthlink accounts: messages like the one below
are frustrating and bothersome. They're also a source of backscatter.
Eg. see this old-ish forum post:

Please just get a gmail account. Gmail is awesome all around, but it
especially kicks butt at dealing with spam. I have a very public email
address that is all over the internet and yet I still only get about
two spam messages a day that I have to manually tag as spam, vs.
100-300 spam messages that hit my spam trap on any given weekday.
Impressive
Actually, IMHO, these types of messages are themselves spam and should be reported as such. They're just as offensive and unnecessary as an Outlook vacation auto-responder that says "I've gone home to the wife for the day - be back tomorrow at 8 am!" (and yes, I've gotten those types of auto-responses as well). Anytime I get an auto-response like this, I do in fact treat it as spam and report it as such.
