Was your friend using Hotmail? :)
For me, it's a non issue. Once I switched to google apps I probably see couple of spam messages a month and even that I delete without thinking too much about it. Now that I think about it, I get more spam in my snail mail box every Thursday than in my email box. At least with email I can do something to stop spam in my inbox. I'd like to cancel my mail(snail) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hox-ni8geIw Fax spam? We still get them in our office. As an individual, it does not make any sense to run your own email server any more.
