Today it took me around two and half hours to make sure nothing was improperly flagged as spam. Estimating this over the course of a year I loose between fifteen to twenty thousand dollars in lost productivity. How much "fuss" is that worth?

While I am not getting quite that volume, it's pretty damn close. Got a nice little program that scans the deleted spam folder and automatically generates spam complaints to about everyone who takes them. Sure it doesn't lessen the spam, but ....... ;)
Anyway, who uses email much anymore?
