I use PopMonitor and my ISP is filtering, so my spam-load isn't too bad.
Have you looked at some of the anti-spam stuff?
But I'd have to say, we shouldn't have to use it. Even if it becomes
illegal in the USA, the spammers would simply move to another country where
it isn't or it cannot be controlled effectively.
Nevertheless, there are attempts being made to make it expensive for the
spammers. Note Microsoft's recent lawsuits.
