Cotton--might I strongly recommend SpamSieve, which I've found to be the single most effective spam-handling tool on the market:

Yeah, I know, this doesn't help much with preventing it from flowing in in the first place, but it's over 98% effective at the client end...and this is coming from a guy who receives an average of over 180 spams per day...

Cotton - I'm always amazed that on a tech-savy board there is so much discussion of client-side SPAM filtering and virtually no discussion of server-side filtering.

My current and previous ISPs both use the server-side filter "Postini," and I get at most 1-2 SPAMs a day, plus the satisfaction of knowing that I have made the entire email system more efficient by stopping SPAM one step closer to the source.

If I were to need a new ISP I would put server-side filtering on my list of absolute requrements, right along with reliability and security.
