PMFJI but if you are so keen on spam filtering, why don't you use a
software that is specialised in it? I hear SpammAssassin with Bayesian
Filter is a way to go.

OTOH, if 17 spam messages are much compared to your daily intake of
spam, then I wonder why you use spam filters at all. I get an average
of 10 spam messages per day, and I have not a single spam filter. What
I do is, I filter all legit mail to where it belongs, and what stays
in the Inbox is spam (or a friend with a new email address which
happens not very often).

Also, regarding your list of hundreds of email addresses from which
you have received spam: I hope you are aware that the list is useless.
Whenever I receive spam, I will report it to SpamCop, and they will
contact the appropriate ISP who will shut down the email account.
Before I knew SpamCop, I did the tracking and ISP informing by hand,
and often enough, within a few minutes or hours after the spam had
been created, the email address was already out of commission by the
time I got there.
