Re: Spam wars (was test)

I use popfile which filters out (ie puts in  a folder that I can then 
choose to read) 95% of my spam. Doesn't stop me getting the stuff in 
first place though. My Yahoo account achieves much the same  success 
rate but has the limitation of not stocking more than the
 6 MB limit.  Ideal solution would seem to have own mailserver  !
