I haven't had success with filters .  I have not
been able to figure
out how  you can filter for the seemingly
infinite variations
spammers use in names and subject lines. Which
they do intentionally
to fool filters.


What people are talking about here is filtering mailing list messages into separate mailboxes for each list, based on the mailing list address rather than the subject line rather than attempting to filter out the spam. 99% of my e-mail is filtered into various mailboxes. That includes personal and work messages. What is left is a little bit of spam (my ISP catches most of it) and the odd personal response to mailing list or newsgroup postings.
