A few weeks ago I was whining that I was to the point of pretty much ignoring my e-mail because of the inundation of spam. Earlier this year it got to the point where I was receiving 400-500 spam per day on some days, and the filtering I was doing was not proving effective (far too many spams were still getting through).
A combination of Seth adding server-side spam filtering with Spam Assassin and upgrading to the latest build of Mozilla Thunderbird has largely solved that problem for now.
I’m only seeing 8 or 9 spam in my inbox each day now, with almost no false positives.
Still, I’d like to see some of these spammers get the Michael Fay treatment someday.
