Eskimo is quite good at filtering spam. About a quarter of the spam I get
nowadays comes via the NetBSD maillists (which shows how much I actually
get), and procmail gets 99% of what does come through. You may note that
I've never munged my address...
I used to get 100-200 spams a week at work (mostly triplicates, because
I've used three different machines to post to news over the last 10 years),
but it has dropped off quite a bit recently.

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
