I used to be careful and care about where my email

trying to avoid spam then I would be just dealing with it. I discovered
Paul Graham's "A Plan for Spam" essay and ESR's wonderful bogofilter
program. I have flung my email address around shamelessly for over two
years now, and I currently have only one or two "unsure" messages that
are really spam to deal with per day. The rest go to a spam file that I
mostly ignore but go dig in when I don't get that email from ebay that

Seeing Hans officially changed this thread to off-topic I'll
jump in and say I also use bogofilter with the same positive
results... once trained (took a month I guess) I now get ~zero
spam in my Inbox, ~2 per day in my unsure folder and 20 to 30
spams in my Trash, which automatically get purged after 3 days.
It works so well I'd like to write a song about it ! :-)
Hmm, an edgy zztop'd "Spam Boogie"... oh sheesh, maybe I should
sign off this list for awhile!
BTW this is an excellent indie blues orientated podcast...
