My ISP uses greylisting which kills most spam I receive.
The rest gets captured by SpamSieve, though a few of those GIF-y things still get through.

The list has been a tiny bit quiet lately and I want to get something off my chest. Spam filters (e.g., Gmail's, the client I use) often ignore attachments. So what the spam I've been getting lately consists of is legitimate text picked up from random sites around the Internet concatenated together. Then all the spammy content is in the GIF, using CAPTCHA-style image processing techniques to make it hard to OCR. Gmail's spam filter sucks at filtering this stuff out. I'm getting several a day in my inbox now. Pisses me off enough that I'm writing my own filter because I don't want to hack on Python/C/C++/Perl. End rant. Warren
