If you are running Outlook, do a google for SpamBayes. It's a filter based on some previously discounted mathematical theories regarding probabilties. My work address was sold to a pr0n company, as was the addy of about 1/2 my current coworkers. SpamBayes kills about 99.75% of my spam.<p> I get about 100 spam a DAY at work. SpamBayes puts about 6-7 in a possible spam folder. The first few weeks I would catch a few emails from friends in that folder, but after subsequent "training" of the software, it has stopped doing so. There are a few annoyances, like not marking spam as read but it is worth it if you have a serious problem and are using Outlook.
