   It depends on what type of exposure your E-mail address has had to spammer's
CDs.
Somehow I advanced to the highest level.   I am able to use 2 variations and
found that
spammers responded to an online forum where I used that address - 2 days
after using the
second variation I was getting a blizzard of spam to the variation.

    Brightmail doesn't seem to recoginze HTML comments yet, nor deal with some
type of
base64 encoding.   I forward a boatload of stuff to their "Missed
spam" E-mail
address,
but I imagine that e-mail box is overwhelmed these days.
