I turned on Spaminator through Earthlink/Mindspring and I get
maybe one spam a week now. Makes
the $10 a month I've been paying
solely b/c I don't want to change
email addresses worth it. (I haven't
dialed up directly in years.)

I can also log in and view the
spam that I didn't receive in my
inbox. I do worry that email that
I want to receive might get
Spaminator-ed, but that hasn't happened
yet as far as I know. (Of course,
it would be hard to know these things...)

We started using spamassasin for all our email, using basically the
defaults, and I have unblocked korea for now. The only problem I have
had filtering all the spam into one folder is a sick compulsion to
actually look at it now.

Spamassasin can be found here: http://www.spamassassin.org/, and I am
guessing it runs only on Unix, but I could be wrong.

Another too that spamassasin uses btw is Vipul's Razor
http://razor.sourceforge.net/, that works similarlly to spamcop.


Peace.
