I don't think you can get rid of all of it. Three or four a day is not very much at all. At work, I used to get 20 to 40 a day and one of my co-workers would get over 100. The company upgraded something though and I'm down to 4 or 5 a day at work and maybe 1 to 5 at home.

I'd love to see spammers caught and have to eat every piece of spam they ever sent. They would get fat as hell.

Create a new email account and don't sign up for anything with it unless you trust the source. USe[ your old account for that purpose, that way any email you get at your new account will be legit.

I'm on AOL Security Edition, and it's great. I get maybe 2 pieces of spam a week.

I have a hotmail account with junk mail filter set to "Enhanced" and I don't get any junk mail in my inbox.

4's nothing, I get about 50 a day. It's annoying as Hell. Luckily my e-mail puts them in their own folder, although some have started getting through recently.
