I’ve been using GMail as my spam filter for the last couple months and am pleasently surprised, it sorts on average 400 spam messages every 30 days and only 2 a month get by. With all my mail going thorugh gmail I not only get a great backup but quick webmail. One of the easiest ways to make sure email gets filtered out is tagging. Yes tagging, something I never heard about ’till recently.
How to tag: So my gmail is dancameron[at]gmail.com and if I were to sign up through some spammer or legite company I could just tag my email with dancameron+junk@gmail.com or dancameron+company[at]gmail.com. Easy as that, and then create a simple filter so all +junk goes straight to the trash.
Lovin’ gmail so much I might just move to it exclusivly.
