so, how do you suffer from spam? I'd be interested in hearing solutions and why some people have the stance they do.

I do understand it being a burden on mail servers and companies when the spammer hides their email address or spoofs another address...
When an ISP is bombarded by a few million spam messages per day - it causes a hefty cost that they have to pick up and spammers don't.

With junk mail (postal mail) - the 'spammers' had to pay postage & printing. In email spam, spammers cost per message is much lower, and you end up making the recepient incur costs.
