I get a bit of spam, usually less than 10 a day so it's not much of a
problem. Once you're on some sort of spammers mail list there's sod
all you can do about it so I rely on my mail application to filter
them out for me, so far it's doing a good job. My Google mail account,
which I started using for posting to usenet a couple of years ago,
gets several hundred spams per week but I don't use it for anything
else so that's fine with me.
