I haven't been able to blog the last day or so because my web hosting space has been completely eaten up by spam messages to my catchall address (dating back only to November 2007 mind you), 42,000+ of them. I deleted the mail file back in November to clear up space, but this time I decided to add that address to gmail. Gmail couldn't handle it (timed out while accessing the file), so I set up Mail on my mac to download them. I could manually download one message at a time from both for awhile, but Gmail limits manual checking to once a minute. After a few hours, Mail was able to unclog the spam block (nice visual image there), and now I can blog again. I guess I could have just delete the mail file, but this was more interesting :-)
