Problems with Asian Spam

[dhottinger at harrisonburg.k12.va.us]

Thanks for all the encouragement.  I think we get hammered extra hard  
because our email addresses are easy to harvest (all of our staffs  
email addresses are listed on a webpage, "so parents can contact staff  
easily").  Ive been trying to get this pulled or at least .htaccess  
protected since I came into this position.  In the meantime, my users  
constantly complain.  Either about spam, or because spam filter caught  
one legit message out of 20000+.  I think it is doing a good job.  But  
Im constantly training and refining it.
