    I get sent an average of 50 spams per day and about 70 real e-mails. I may see, on average 1 spam every other day. The rest go into a place where I never see them. How do I do that? I use a Bayesian filtering system that is ultra-sophisticated. It sorts my mail into 7 "buckets" and my e-mail client sorts the "buckets" into 11 mailboxes. The sorting is well over 99% accurate (currently hovering at ~99.5%, i.e., 99.5% of all messages, spam included, go to the bucket they should do.

    See http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ for more details.

    The cost of this marvel? ZILCH, free, gratis and for nowt. It's an open-source software.

    Warning: it'll take you a few days of conscientious telling your system which files you wish to go to which bucket, before it catches on, but the accuracy improves very rapidly. And there is a system overhead to run it, so booting takes a few seconds longer.

    For me, who has tried many kinds of spam filtering, this is the greatest thing since sliced bread! I rejoice the day, about 4 months ago, that I found it.

          I have my Hotmail account set up to only permit messages into my inbox from people on my buddy/safe list. Everything else goes straight into the junk mail folder. I get anywhere from 20 to 50 messages a day in my junkmail folder and after I give them a quick scan to make sure there isn't anything in there from anyone I know, I hit the "empty folder" button. I get ZERO spam in my inbox.

          I wish ALL email programs had this feature.

          (Then again, maybe they do. I haven't tried them ALL.)

            Mozilla's mail client has had built-in Bayesian filtering since version 1.3.

              Personally i use SpamNet

              Cloudmark is a trusted leader in intelligent threat protection against known and future attacks, safeguarding 12 percent of the world’s inboxes from wide-scale and targeted email threats.


              very good and i think it's free for home use. It integrates into outlook. And compares against a database of known spammers.

                I get no spam in my 2 yahoo and my ISP accounts.

                Wasn't getting any spam at @elvis.com account but I haven't checked that one for a while.

                Hotmail: I started getting pensu enlargements and university diploma spams.
