***   I was that volunteer. If one cannot set a spam filter, then 
waiting will eventually see spammers move on to the next address on 
their lists, any way.

***   Depending on one's mail program, one may be able to train it to 
dump such e-mails into a trash folder. Sadly, spammers just keep 
changing their addresses and subjects lines, so spam can still get
