Absolutely - 100-150 pieces a day, at the moment. I've never tried
mailwasher, but use Outlook 2003. It has a "junk mail" folder which really
works incredibly well. I always have a quick glance down the contents of the
junk mail folder before empyting it, and I find that virtually no "proper"
mail gets dumped in there by mistake, and only perhaps one or two pieces of
spam find their way into the normal Inbox. This sort of detection rate makes
the spam even more bloody pointless...
