High Noon: Out, Out, Damn E-Spam

My South Perry blog colleague Pia Hallenberg Christensen arrived back from two-weeks vacation today, only to discover her work e-mail account crammed with 552 e-mails. She also found more than 1,000 e-mails accumulated in her spam filter. And the number of “old-fashioned” letters in her e-mailbox during the same period? One. I take my laptop on vacation with me. So I’m able to wade through the spam and unessential e-mails at the end of each vacation day, to keep down the number that I face upon returning home. I’m also very aggressive when it comes to blocking a spammer. How about you?

Question: Are you overwhelmed by e-mail spam when you return from vacations or a time away from the office?
