What are other people's experiences with email accounts and SPAM?
Don't underestimate spammers!
The sheer number of spam messages hitting my personal mail server
always astounds me. I have to resort to 3 levels of filtering:
1) I have sendmail configured to reject connections from remote
machines on various blacklisted subnets. In the past 4 weeks this
has filtered out 110628 messages (or 3951 per day)!
2) For the spam that has gotten through the first filter,
spamassassin has caught 1030 messages (36 per day)
3) For the messages that spamassassin has missed, Mail.app's junk
filter will correctly tag about 10 per day.
After those three filters, I end up with around 10 uncaught spams per
day.
