I get 1500+ spams daily, every day.. easily. I have tried 25-30 different email clients and spam filters to end up using http://www.spamfighter.com/ with outlook express.. I get about 2% spam now, compared to 30-40% with Thunderbird.
Well this is not an issue for me.

Most of my webmaster, and internet mail goes to forwarded wm addy's to gmail, yahoo, hotmail, whatever. So their spam, and virus filters deal with that volume, and madness.

My home e-mail account(s) are mainly family, and close friends. So it's very limited on who has that e-mail address. Which is where I use Outlook (now thunderbird).

So for my purposes, it handles the little bit (100+) of annoying e-mails, and shit I was receiving. Ending my grief with that madness.
