Agreed 100%. I use Gmail and get virtually no spam email ever. It's not like how it was a long time ago when my box got flooded with junk. Even my Hotmail barely gets any, but i don't use it for much more than buying stuff from Ebay,Amazon and tickets for shows. I wish everybody adopted the Gmail spam filters though...

I have a gmail acct that I rarely use. Just checked it and I saw 1808 emails in the spam filter. Guess gmail is doing a good job.

I don't have my ISP filter any of my email for spam but I receive very little. The only thing I can think of is I use Microsoft Office 2003 and it is kept updated with spam protection (junk email filters or something like that).
