    What the hell? Are you just jumping on the "Oh look at me, I use Firefox and Linux" bandwagon, when realistically you're probably not? This has absolutely nothing to do with any operating system or browser on your system, rather spam, which is something that occurs at the server level.

    If you actually were smart enough to go through the steps of installing Gentoo, I would assume you are smart enough to know that spam isn't platform dependent.
