I'm on vacation and your mail has been deleted.

Is email dead?
I just saw this auto-responder, and it kinda sums it all up.
Hello and thank you for your e-mail. I will be on vacation until Monday, April 26, 2004. Due to the volume of legitimate e-mail and spam, I unfortunately have no choice but to automatically delete all inbound mails while I'm on vacation. Otherwise, my inbox reaches its storage limit in a couple of days and instead of getting this friendly message, you'll get some sort of cryptic thing that makes it look like I don't work here any more, or something like that. So, to keep my inbox clear and to minimize my workload when I return, I'm just deleting all inbound messages. If you really want me to get your message, then all you must do is resend it after April 26th and I'll be happy to consider it then. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
I know when I get online every morning only to be greeted to 100 unread messages, of which 50% are spam, on my work mail (this after spam-assassin and junk matcher has gone through them)
Oh.. and I just got a fax machine number @ work. I don't even know the number of it yet, but I still receive junk faxes every day on it.
anyone know of a greylisting type services which works at the mail-account level, not at the SMTP server one?
