Only 100? Zheesh! On an average day, I get 400 or
so. (I had my email address on my business web site long before spam
was invented. )

I don't feel like jerking around clients who have been loyal customers
of mine for more than 10 years just because I'm tired of using my Delete
key, so I now have my site hosted with a company that provides
SmarterMail with customizable junk filtering. Between that and Eudora
for Mac's built-in trainable spam filter, only about 10% of the junk
gets through to my Inbox, and I can do a quick weekly scan-and-delete
run on both the server-side and client-side holding pens to retrieve any
false positives.
