Has everyone with a PS email address been getting the ungodly amount of SPAM this I have? Any clues what to do about it?

I don't tend to get SPAM.. I get all the submissions forwarded to me, of which many are Spam, but that's it...

I've been getting TONS- I tried getting rid of the actual email and just do a forwarding, but that didn't work! I get 50+ a day, not even exaggerating.

Probably from some of the SPAM bots that keep hitting the site.

At first it looked like someone hijacked my domain so I turned off the "catch all" and most went away. But I have been getting emails with the headline "So-n-So writes" or something to that effect. And quite a lot of other spam that manages to be sent straight to my bulk folder.

I have a handful of email accounts for different things, and yeah, I've been getting a bunch of those "So-n-So writes:" emails in two of them. The filters catche most of it, but some of those buggers manage to get through...annoying. It started to infiltrate my school email, which was really problematic, but they've got it down to a minimum again.
