Re: spam problems.
I'm in a similar boat to David, I get about 200 spams a day.
The latest Mozilla has a fantastic junk mail feature, which automatically
IDs the mail as spam, and moves it to a junk folder (or it can delete it
etc.). It has great success. Almost no false positives yet (there was one
mail marked as junk that wasn't, but that is out of around 10,000 spams,
so not a bad rate.) and there is maybe two spam messages a week that
sneak past it (it is easy to pmark it as junk so that it gets nailed in the
future).
I also have Spam Assassin running at the mail server level, which kills
about
half of the spams. But the junk mail in mozilla almost makes spam assassin
unnecessary.
Mozilla is the free open source browser/mail application almost identical to
netscape.
