I would have to disagree with you. I get very little spam on my very old Yahoo account. It may just be that your e-mail address has been harvested by spammers.

So what are bots? Can you also tell us where you have got your information on spammers but more importantly how can we do something about it.

Do some research on the net and you will find many pages about spam. Here is one website with some tips and info.
