Google's SPAM filters are effective, so much so that when the small local ISP my mother used was bought by a larger company that used a Google SPAM filtering service I had to regularly check the spam collection to retrieve legit messages. For all other messages I use a community network for email, but the community network has been the subject of campaigns to block email because it is used by various gay rights, woman's heath, and other groups that that generate outrage among certain groups. I didn't have a problem with SPAM until a company selling used Sun and SGI hardware went bankrupt. I assume their customer database got into the wrong hands. Once the spammers have your address the flow never ends. -- George N. White III
