Yes! It's incredible ... 300-400 every day (if I don't use filters to send

I see a few things to be concerned with here:
1) GMail expects you to use it's built-in spam detection (it's a lot more
expansive than what LK described, BTW). Building your own spam detection net
via filters is likely to result in a lot of bad effects.
2) Filters have nothing to do with SPAM, s

Hmmm, in view of LK's answer, I do not understand...
it seems like, the filtering would affect all
