Hmm, well, yes and no. The silly buggers are certainly becoming more
resourceful and/or larcenous, but in my experience a well-fortified
mail server can still reduce the spam flow to a manageable trickle.
My ISP is positively fanatical about the subject, and employs a
multi-tiered spam defence; as a result I receive maybe a half-dozen
or so a week, and most of those are fairly unobjectionable... ads for
software, Web-related services and such-like.
My sysadmin follows many of the guidelines set out in the excellent
"Get That Spammer" site, which I believe I've cited here previously:

... well worth a careful read.
