Set up a rule that any email that does not contain your Full Name
(this is an option in Tiger's Mail, I don't know about earlier
versions) goes to Junk (or whatever). That will drop out a HECK of
a lot of the spam right there.

I'd like to do that rule you mention...but wouldn't that mean that
email from lists like iMac would become spam?
Yup. If you wanted to do this you could first (above the "no full
name to junk" rule in the list) set up a set of list filters - send
each list to its own mailbox. The "List-Id" header is a good one to
filter on, or you could filter on "to or cc" or "any recipient."
Then be sure to add the additional action "stop evaluating rules."
There will still be some personal stuff that's bcc'd to you that will
be sent to junk or trash or wherever, so you'll want to review them.
