I don't understand how can some people receive so much spam as they claim...
The key to success in not receiving spam is not to put your email anywhere on the web and rather have a secondary email used for registration in boards and other non-trusted sources. I'm using my regular email address for about 6 years now and before I installed spamassasin on the server about half a year ago, I was receiving less than one spam every other day to that address. Now when the spamassasin is active, it's less than one per week. And I use that email address regularly, from the time I created that email address (and registered the domain), I'm sending 5-30 emails every day.
With this in my mind, I really don't know how can anyone receive 100's or even 1000's of spam email every day. Actually, the only way I can imagine is well-known domains like yahoo or hotmail (or domains of big corporations) where spammers simply guess the email address. No other way to get such shitloads of spam...
