Running spamassassin + clamav and a few RBLs seemed to make a big dent 
in it for me, but a fair amount of crap still gets through.  Frankly, I 
guess I'll never understand the mindset of the spammer.  They go out of 
their way to circumvent spam controls for people who *obviously* don't 
want to receive those ads.  It's like me telling my mum I don't like 
liver so she goes out of her way to sneak it into my diet knowing I'll 
gag on each bite.  (no, my mum really knows I hate liver and doesn't do 
that...heh)

I wish the penalties for polluting the internet were half as potent as 
those for polluting the ocean.  Perhaps then we'd see some improvement.

Cheers,
