Ashok,
For personal use, I've found TMDA to be a wonderful solution.
See: http://tmda.net/
Without anything in place, I'd be getting: ~ 350/day;
however, with TMDA I only see: ~ 12/year.
TMDA is not for everybody.
However, it might be for you!
If someone emails you out of the blue, they must reply to a
trivial challenge to be placed in the "confirmed" list.
There's no question for them to answer, the just need to hit
reply to the challenge the very 1st time (they do not need to
resend the original message). If this is too much, you
can pre-clear them, or hand out a temporary address (TMDA
makes this easy). You can also "whitelist" certain domains.
Read the docs for more info.
At first, I was put off by the idea that I would be creating
a small amount of extra traffic, but when you count the bytes,
it's really nothing. I also worried it might be considered
anti-social. I've been using it since Nov 14, 2004, and so
far there has not been a single complaint from anybody. If you
are sick of spam and tired of "smart" filters that never quite
seem to work, give TMDA a try. You can also use TMDA along
with SpamAssasin, and use X-Spam-Level/X-Spam-Status as part
of your TMDA rule set.
Cheers,
-Jon
