Me too - I get about 100 spam mails a day at work - and I hardly ever send any 
e-mail from there outside the company

All e-mail into my home goes via spamassassin - any that gets through I stuff 
into a spam folder which is reported to razor each night.

 No problem here.  I've been subscribed for over a year and have only gotten
 about 5 items of spam total on this address.  No filtering either. Just a
 coincidence I think.

I belive the more you post the more spam you get.  I know I get a ton of it 
(metric or US) daily.  I am also currently on 25+ public lists.  You just 
learn to be good with the filters and fast on the delete key.

 I just started on debian-user this Saturday, then Sunday and today
 I've been getting more spam email than I've ever gotten before (20-30

 address for posting to debian-user?

Debian mailing-lists are open for non-subscribers aswell.  That's why
you're seeing all the spam.

Not that the spam in this and other debian lists are addressed to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], not to your personal address.

I recommend ifile for dealing with spam.

http://www.ai.mit.edu/~jrennie/ifile/ or `apt-get install ifile'.
