I used to run my own DNS, email, SPAM filtering etc.   Several years ago I
got a Google Enterprise account, which you can associate with your own
domain.  Since day one,  its been virtually 100% SPAM free.   I used to
have to spend hours every couple of months
configuring/re-configuring/tweaking/testing the SPAM filters etc.  Since
this account setup, I've never spent a single minute worrying about spam
etc. and it's well worth the $50/user/year for me.   If you do a "dig
logical-approach.com mx" you'll see the email from this domain going to
 Googles email servers.   And, if you look at the DNS servers for the
domain (dig logical-approach.com ns), you'll see that I'm running DNS using
 Amazon Web Services Route 53   ($0.50/month/domain).

Worth every $0.01 IMHO and highly recommended.
