said by rolande:I have been getting close to 120-150 a day in the past week or so. Before that I was seeing maybe 50-70 per day. The volume has certainly increased significantly. I'd be experiencing a lot of pain and suffering without SpamAssassin. It catches more than 95% of the crap automatically. I have Spamassassin running on my host and it is nice. I have been "training" it the past 4 months and it catches more and more spam. I probably get about 3-4 in my inbox in a given week. Everything else is caught now. The only disadvantage is to train it, you have to put the good mail in a "learn_ham" folder and the spam that does get through in the "learn_spam" folder. So, when the nightly cron job runs, it learns from what doesn't get caught initially. Once it gets trained though, its nice!

said by Nightfall:Registering a domain: $7 a year Webhost: $5-$7 a month Accessing your email via web, pop3, or IMAP without dealing with ads: Priceless I agree. And never changing your e-mail address again is a big plus. I don't bother with web host, however. I turned it over to a mail handling service -- and I am happy to pay them my whopping $20 a year for nearly spam-free e-mail via Web, WAP, IMAP, POP/SMTP, and more addresses than I can think of. Fastmail, RunBox, Tuffmail were the ones I looked at. The web site Email Discussions covers it.

Still, if your needs are small and you want a free service it is hard to beat GMail with POP/SMTP access. |

| see how many people are complaining about ads. They are now even blocking negative ads. Several people I have spoken to have posted complaints but they never appear.
