Hi David,
What I do, is forward all my emails to Yahoo Mail which is much better in fighting spam that any other provider.

I also do not activate email addresses on websites. I try to use contact forms with CAPTCHA instead.

Wordpress is pretty good on fighting spam with Askimet. I love it.

Thank You,
Chip

I get about 300-400 spam emails a day. It gets to over a thousand during the weekend Of that, only about 30 get to my inbox, but I’m training my spam filter to get it down to 5-10 a day. I do check my junk folder everyday though. Quite a few legitimate emails got thrown in there and I learned my lesson. It’s a huge waste of time though, half an hour a day just for my office email is quite a lot!
