Well, that explains my spam problem.
No it doesn't. Spam addresses largely aren't culled from online
websites anymore, most are stolen from virus-infected PC's.
The only real solution is to move to an ISP with effective spam
filtering on the backend.
We currently cull nearly a third of all e-mail that comes to our
servers, and we're being pretty conservative, to avoid false
positives (non-spam labeled as spam.)
Still we're getting more of those than we'd like. This caught the
Google groups confirmation mail sent to me the other day, so I have
to check my Junk folder regularly.
However, it IS pretty good; only a handful of junks have actually
arrived in my inbox, all properly labeled SPAM, so the Junk Filter in
Mail takes care of those. Spam Assassin is a good, good thing. We've
structured our servers to integrate AV screening and Spam screening
in one process stream, so we don't bother spam scanning anything
kicked out by the AV scanner.
Without this two-level screening process, I'd get a hundred a day, at
least.
