I don't know how you manage, but I think I am going to get crazy with the hundreds of spams I get everyday!!!
My professionnal address is bombered all the day by ad for viagra, laptop, mortage applications, and so on.
Filters of the university I work in can't be harder, because some important mails could not reach... anyway, I am tired of this!
I got 44 spams today. Maybe you should change your email address. There are a lot of freemailers around which have automatic and configurable spam filters. And if you publish your address on a website, use a picture instead of text so the spiders cannot scan it.
if you get so much spam, the best thing probably is changing your emailadress.
And i don't know how you got to that amount, but never ever publish your email adress anywhere on a website.
I also have an special hotmil-adress for when regisration is required : that way all the spam gets into that account where it doesn't trouble me ...
If i came from people who have your adress in their adress book, you're screwed though

I use two e-mail adresses as well, but I get lots of spam in both of them, I use my hotmail address for those registration things as well (except for EBT and EBTF)

That's probably the reason I get so much spam mails.
I use spampal to get rid of most spam messages ( look at www.spampal.org )
It did the trick for me, when i was getting about 200 spam messages a day, now i got like 1800 spam on a month. I've got no clue why the number of spam messages per day went down for me, but i'm not complaining
Once and a while i scan through my spam-folder just to see that there are no messages that are not spam and than it put those e-mail-addresses on a whitelist...
Greetzz,
I haven't had much trouble with spam. Only about 1-2 spams a month reach my three email addresses.
A much bigger problem for me is the amount of internal email messages at work. People get more and more active to invite or even demand others to participate in all kinds of development projects, discussions etc. The worst that happens is when people throw their tasks to others by email to make someone else take care of them, and soon afterwards send irritated notifications about why no one has done anything to the matter immediately.
