Spam Filtering Services

You can filter spam locally with one of the many anti-spam tools or even construct your own filters. But then you have to look out for new spammer tricks restlessly and update the software frequently. Or you let the pros of a dedicated spam filtering service do the hunting for you and profit from a spam-free Inbox without much effort.

What Spam Filter Are You Using?
By the numbers, spam should be everywhere. If it's not 95% of your email inbox, chances are you have a spam filter to thank. Which spam filter, though, is it? Do you rely on your email service's; the filter built into your email program; a separate spam filter perhaps? Share your pick here and find out what spam filtering others are using, too.
