Must be nice. I just cleaned out my spam folder of 281 spams. No false

Wow, that's be nice to even have that few :-)  I tend to get about a
thousand a day.  Occasionally I will glance through a handful to see if
there are any false positives, and I've never seen one.

I'm certainly missing a lot fewer messages with the spam filter than I
would be trying to cull through a thousand messages a day looking for the
ones I'm supposed to be getting.

I have an entire domain, and generally make unique addresses for each party
I communicate with.  I'm fairly amazed at how many commercial entities end
up getting my email signed up for spam.

Periodically, I go find the addresses that get the most spam and delete
them (possibly resubscribing to lists).

Right now, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" seems to be winning.  That one I'll just
delete.

If I have some spare time, I think I could catch a lot of spam just by
looking for messages that are addressed to multiple recipients at
davidb.org, especially invalid ones.  There's only one user here.  Plus,
I've never had a [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Not sure where that even
came from.
