I´ve had it now, most mornings I get between 8-10 spam mails. Now that might not sound a lot but it bugs the hell outta me

So I´ve decided to get a anti-spam programme, any recommendation folks

It is a yearly fee, but considering it is constantly updated by reports from all it's users, we think it's worth it.

I had to set my email on the highest junk mail filter. I must get about 20 per day.

I keep 2 email addresses, one for when I sign up for things and another for legit emails.

I check the spam email account about once a month.

My University of Alberta email account is the only account I have that I dont get at least 10 spam mails a day from. My Shaw (ISP) account, which I activated when I signed up, then NEVER USED (EVER, I dont even know what the address IS without looking it up) and I logged in in December to over 2000 spam messages. And that was in less than 4 months!!!

I have yet to find a good spam blocking program that doesnt block non-spam emails as well, but I usually use gmail which does a really good job of filtering spam (still though, they insist that ChemBio News is Spam about every other newsletter)
