I've had enough of this shit. Every single time I check my email there's always SPAM in it. I now get well over a hundred pieces of that crap a day, and am fed up with it.

I'm going to give "SPAM Assasin" a go. If you're using an "@gotthegeek.com" address, you should notice a difference. And if someone "real" sends you an email with "CHECK OUT THIS! FREE SEX FOR FREE!" as the subject, it will be blocked.

lol, Spam is definatly a problem. How does the program work? Does it just keep certain subjects & addresses from getting through?

header analysis: spammers use a number of tricks to mask their identities, fool you into thinking they've sent a valid mail, or fool you into thinking you must have subscribed at some stage. SpamAssassin tries to spot these.
text analysis: again, spam mails often have a characteristic style (to put it politely), and some characteristic disclaimers and CYA text. SpamAssassin can spot these, too.
blacklists: SpamAssassin supports many useful existing blacklists, such as mail-abuse.org, ordb.org or others.
Razor: Vipul's Razor is a collaborative spam-tracking database, which works by taking a signature of spam messages. Since spam typically operates by sending an identical message to hundreds of people, Razor short-circuits this by allowing the first person to receive a spam to add it to the database -- at which point everyone else will automatically block it.
